I too had the same question. I widend the fuselage, raised the seats and instrument palnels. I will send pics off line if you want to see them.

I live in Missouri so just let me know how and were you would like the check to be sent. I do thank you for your time.

I installed a Lycoming 0-320 engine in my Cherokee using my tractor and a boom on a three point hitch. The boom was $89 at Tractor Supply. If you have a friend with a tractor having a 3 point hitch, this might work for you. It was a very easy installation and the conical engine mount on the Cherokee is probably harder to stab than plugging a Continental A-65 onto a Piet. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:47:17 AM PST US From: N321TX@wmconnect.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Bunji Struts I'm going to be in Chuck's neck of the woods late this month. If someone along my route home (Wichita and or Kansas City, MO) to Central Texas) makes an agreement with Chuck for the gear legs, I can drop them off if not too far off my route home. I'll be heading back to the Dallas area, and then on to 5TA6, San Antonio Sectional. I'll be on the road back to Texas probably Jan. 31 or Feb 1.

I used a "come-along" suspended from the header beam above my hangar door. Just suspended the engine and rolled the airframe under neath it. ----- Original Message ----- From: N321TX@wmconnect.com To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2005 9:39 AM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: good place to get engine hoist?

You don't need a hoist at all. Just set the engine on a table and roll the fuselage up to it. prop up the tail to the right height, block the wheels, and shim up the engine till it lines up. use a pry bar to tilt the engine a little. Del Michael McCarty wrote: --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Michael McCarty" Almost any cheap hoist would handle a corvair engine. Most of them are made with long arms and legs for hoisting engines out of an auto engine bay and take quite a bit of room to store. If you only need something to lift a corvair engine onto a Piet, you could probably weld up something much more compact or just use a block and tackle from the rafters. At 200 lbs even a 2x4 truss would hold it. -Mike McCarty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Hodgson" Subject: Pietenpol-List: good place to get engine hoist? > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Mark Hodgson > > Curious if anyone has experience with Northern Tool and Equipment--got > their catalog in the general junk mail a couple of days ago, but saw that > they have a small engine hoist for $129.

There is one other guy down in central Oklahoma that said he would like to have 'em, so if you think you won't use them, I hope you can send them on to someone else who would use them. I don't know what the shipping would be. I will pack them up this week, and send them off to you, then let you know what the shipping was. What is your address to send them to ?? Here is a picture of them, on the plane. I could never keep them tight enough, so I changed them out for the spring struts. I will also send out a copy of the details of how to tie the loops on the ends of the bunji chords.

His friend Paul hasn't heard from him in some time either. After returning from the Gulf the last time he got out of his house and bought a $200,000 boat. He rented a corner of a hanger to store the Piet and Santa Anna. Paul thinks the boat purchase has stretched things for Dave as he wasn't his usual upbeat self the last time they met. He's going to see what more he can do and call me if successful.
