Hey, Check out the photo. One motor in the front and two words in the rear pushing.

It’s a mini Pietenpol, not a TriMotor.

  Yea. What he said. (You’d think the fact it only has one motor would have been a clue, right?) 🙂

    Maybe it was the Ford Flivver. Not many people know of that one. Everyone associates a Ford with the Tri-Motor.

      It’s a Pietenpol. the “Ford” decal refers to the motor. Bernie used the old 4 cylinder, flathead Ford to power his first Aircamper.
