Did you just paint the whole thing then sand down the ends so it will fit into the bearings? Did you finish the inside of the bearings or just leave it bare metal? Same question goes for the bell crank and it's bearings.

Add grease at each annual condition inspection.

I have used the list serve for a few items but they never seems to make it through Internet space. I have some things I wish to liquidate and just wondering if there is a site set up for items to sell.....

I'm going to hazard a guess that someone with an impractical $50k+ showbike is going to be very, very, careful. If I were a marketing guy at Rotec, I would be posting that picture at every biker hangout, rally, superbike racetrack and show I could find. I'd be hustling that picture like a Las Vegas escort service. The custom motorcycle market in the US alone is WAY bigger than the world's Pietenpol or antique airplane population. If we're not careful, Rotec may sell all its engines to West Coast Choppers and leave us behind, stuck with square engines. > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: lshutks@webtv.net (Leon Stefan) > > Dick: 5 will get you 10 that the reason you haven't heard from Rotec is > because they are busy talking to their doctors (to get their blood > pressure back down) and lawyers, bracing themselves for the lawsuit to > come when or if he wrecks that thing.

I sent him $12 and got them back promptly... and what a great bunch of stuff to sit down in the easy chair with in the evening. I see now that Corky used some of those ideas on 41CC, either because they are popular ideas or because he got them through Bill, but regardless- there are some very good tips and details in there. Don't you love "mature" designs like the Piet? So much useful information and so many fine examples out there to glean ideas from. Oh, and I also notice that the front cockpit of NX17WR, Bill's "Navy scheme" Piet, is about as Spartan as you can make them. Really models the theme of "simplicate and add lightness".
