Subject: Pietenpol-List: Continental Overhaul
No where in the Continental Maintenance And Overhaul Manual can I find torque
limits for the rod bolt nuts (not even on page 47...) Does anybody know how many
inch pounds for rod bolt nuts?
Thanks,
Sterling Brooks

This evening I extended the envelope...I flew with the highest
gross
weight I've ever had 'er to - 1150 lbs. A buddy o' mine, from
work, who has never
seen anything like small airplanes very much, Squeezed his big ol'
240 lbs
into the front cockpit, and we went for a 20 minute flight in
perfect flying
conditions !! I used the hard surface to take off, and did a
'Runway Hardness
Test' on the grass landing !! It's a blast to give folks like
him, their first
experience at this type of flying !!
I, for one, can really appreciate that story. I got to see Chuck's Piet
a couple of weeks ago and didn't appreciate until then just how
difficult it will be to get into the front hole. Chuck has the "per
plans" crossed bracing wires on the right side cabanes which means no
entry from that side. From the left side you still have to negotiate
two lift struts with bracing wires, two cabanes, and a very narrow slot
between the bottom of the wing (fuel tubes, etc.) and the top of the
fuselage. I CAN'T WAIT!

Oh SURE....Chuck won't take my fat 220# flying at
Brodhead '04....but he takes his fatter friend
flying........man, that really chaps my hide......here
I had to go out and buy my own...
Ha ha ha !!
Ah, Larry, you're not gonna let me live that down, are ya ?? :)
Well, in my defense, it was pretty hot at Brodhead, we flew off the grass,
and with your weight, it would have been 40 lbs heavier than any previous flight.
Before I flew with my Fat buddy the other day, I cleaned the plane, waxed
the prop, waxed the leading edge, did 3 high speed taxi runs with him in
there on the HARD surface runway to see how it accelerated, and the Density
Altitude was about 2400', beautiful calm evening, not very hot, and the plane was
flying very well. Oh, and Brian, my fat buddy, is single, no kids, no serious
relationship...hence - he is expendable for the test purpose !! He he he !!
:) He is not an airplane guy, and I gave him a crash course in the dangers of
the flight we were considering. He was still Very enthusiastic about going.
I didn't decide on flying, until after the third high speed taxi run, and
found that she accelerated better than I thought it would. As we taxied into
position for the fourth run, I said "Hey Brian, do you believe in God ?" He said
"Yes". I said "Well now would be a good time to say a little prayer...we're
gonna fly this time !!" I put in full power, and the rest is history !!

Ok. don=B4t worry guys, i think that there are a piet project on a little
field to the easth of St. Louis...
i will let you know
Hey Javier,
My buddy Doug Bryant sold his Model A powered Pietanpol to a guy that has
it based at Creve Cour Airport, on the East side of St. Louis. I don't
recall the guys name, but he flys it regularly, and if you stop in the FBO,=20they
will let you know. If it is a calm evening, he will likely be at the hanger, or
flying. I stopped there on my way back through, in '04. It's a really great
airport, with lots of projects, antique planes, long hard surface runway, and
a very nice grass runway, and 3 hanger museum. Creve Couer is a MUST SEE
airport stop.
Dennis E. and his lovely wife invited me to stay with them for the night,
and after supper, we spent hours, going over Dennis's Pietenpol project in
his basement. His son took me back to Creve Coure the next morning, and when I
was preparing for departure, there was a Full Scale P51 Mustang in the
pattern, doing take offs, and landings. I watched him do 4 or 5 before I taxied
into position, and announced "Experimental Pietenpol 770 Charlie Gulf, departing
runway 36 with a Smoking Take Off". The guy in the Mustang replied "P51
Mustang, holding short...I wanna watch this !!"

Chuck, Javier et all:
well it is not St Louis, but clear on the other side of the state.
Lees Summit, MO,
located in Lone Jack, MO a suburb of Kansas City
It would be a bit of a ride to haul it back to Mexico but on the other hand could
be the seminal part to Oscar's Mexican Piet invation idea. At $5850.00 the
price seems quite reasonable.

The "engine list" is on the Matronics main website. You'll need to
subscribe, just like you have done for the Pietnpol list.
One of the subscribers sent me an Adobe PDF file (a Continental Teledyne
Service Bulletin, dated 2-2005) showing nearly all the torque limits for
every Continental engine made. Are you rebuilding a A-series Continental? If
so, you'll find some missing information in the original Continental
Maintenance & Overhaul Manual.

Sterling,
Thanks for the information. I checked the Matronics site earlier and
did not see an engines list. I'll look again.
I may be facing an overhaul on an A65. It starts easily, runs well,
compressions are OK, but after warming up, it only shows 25 psi at
1900 rpm in cruise. Also, it loses it's prime after sitting for less
than a month. It's less than 300 SMOH, but sat for years.
