Well, I'll have to admit defeat on this one. I checked the Flying & Glider
Manuals, Pietenpol's narratives on converting the Model A, and the Pietenpol
manual and plans. No info on this particular bit of information. As a
matter of fact, I came away even more puzzled than before because I've never
actually seen a Model A prop flange or hardware so I can't visualize how the
piece of axle that is used as a centering shaft for the prop is actually
attached to the flywheel flange or crankshaft.
It appears to me, however, that the large center nut that holds the prop
onto the flange, would carry no more torque than the prop bolts if the prop
is wood. Most prop bolts are torqued to something less than 20 ft.-lbs, and
I wouldn't think that the large nut would be any different. For example, my
Tennessee Props wood prop, with AN6 bolts, calls for 200 in.-lb. (16.7
ft.-lb.)
I'll have to defer to the Model A guys out there. Anybody?

Glue-- I am using Aeropoxy because a local wood guy sells it. It works
fine and is probably identical to T-88. A couple of years ago I talked
to these guys at their booth at Oshkosh and that told me they offer a
epoxy glue which is just for wood. It contains gap fillers and is
suppose to be stronger if you have gaps, than regular epoxy or if you
add micro fillers to regular glue. I am continuing to use the regular
stuff since that is what I started with. Also, none ofthe usual
suppliers sells it. They just sell the regular stuff. Just making sure I
have no gaps.. Model A prop bolts-- An easy way out of the Model A prop
center bolt/axel stub hub thing is to buy the adapter from Dick Weeden
(at Brodhead) that takes the four bolt flywheel flange to the six bolt
Continental prop hub bolt pattern. Ken Perkins also sells them, Ps Does
any one know how Ken is doing since his hospitalisation? Leon Stefan.

Leon, I get regular emails from Ken and he seems to be
doing very well.

I am not the best skilled at searching the archives,
but I remember reading something about the recommended
oil to use in my Model A Pietenpol. It is not using
oil, but someday I will have to either change the oil
or add some. I could not find the posts in which this
was discussed. (I am sure there was a consensus on
THIS subject.......)
