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?

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. Kansas No more building for the winter. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:59:53 AM PST US From: Galen Hutcheson Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Glue, Model A prop bolts --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Galen Hutcheson Leon, I get regular emails from Ken and he seems to be doing very well.

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.......)
