Subject: | Ain't life grand |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Isablcorky@aol.com
What would you do if you were sitting by the tube early Sunday afternoon,
clear skies, moderate S wind 15 to 25, 66 deg with a new leather jacket thinking
about your Piet down in the hangar chomping at the bits.
That's what Nathan Moss did. He was off the ground in less than 50 ft. Maybe
40. The first thing which came to his mind while climbing out in that clear
air turbulance was' How in Hell am I gonna get this beast down again. While
trying to answer that question he flew around about 50 minutes in the roughest
air
he has experience since flying school. He got back OK but only rolled about
15 ft after touchdown. Right now he's worn out laying on his ass trying to
muster enough strength to get a bourbon and branch water.
Ain't life grand?

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Franck <franck@geneseo.net>
Oscar, Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I have gleaned from the
corvair list and reading William's manual, there should virtually be no
difference between the 95 block and the 110 block. Both use the same 8409
crank, the same connecting rods and have the same bore and stroke. It's my
understanding that the difference in horsepower comes from the cam and
carbs and both of these are replaced during the conversion. There may be
some minor variations in the combustion chamber design but nothing to alter
the final horsepower output. I don't see where relieving the case is an
issue. Are you confusing the 95 hp engine with the 80/102/150 hp engines,
or did I miss something?
Sincerely, Ron Franck

There is a difference in heads.
A1964 95 HP engine had head number3839886, 3839887, 3886255 or, 3856626. The
1965-66 used 3856743,3883862, 3886259. The 1968-69 3878569. There is no
reference to a 1967 95 HP engine in my reference source

Nathan's a lucky guy. There are quite a few of us that are looking forward
to flying with him. I for one would be VERY dissapointed if he stopped
flying for some reason before several of us got to fly our Piets around a
nice calm evening sky with him!
Yes, life IS grand.
Here's hoping all a happy holiday filled with family, friends and love.
Jim in Plano.....finally done with beadblasting and powdercoating for a
while.......
