I too run Aeroshell 100 and with plain steel cylinders and 4130 Chromoly piston rings I consume about 1 quart in 50 hours or so, perhaps less.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. I was starting to wonder if the file size was too big to get posted to Photoshare, since it took a couple of weeks to appear. The original file was about 12Megs, but it was too big for me to e-mail, so I compressed it down by half to send it through (still a rather large file at 6Megs). The footage was just shot with a digital still camera, set on "movie" mode, then I used Windows Movie Maker (that comes standard with Windows) to edit and paste together the clips, and add the intro and music. Even the "antiquing" at the end was done with that program. If the people in that last scene were wearing 1930's style clothing, I think you'd believe it was old film from the thirties. It's amazing what this software enables amateurs like me to accomplish.

That includes gear legs, axle, spreader bars, bungee cords, wheels and tires, all bracing cables and turnbuckles.

La Crosse, WI ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 09:18:13 PM PST US From: "gcardinal" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage inclination Hi Dan, NX18235 sits at an angle of 12.2 degrees with the Jenny style gear and 19" wheels. I don't know if it is "proper" or not but landings are quite easy. There is no tendency to float when touching down in a 3-point or skid first attitude at 35 - 40 mph and roll-outs are very short because there is a LOT of wing exposed at 12.2 degrees. Small picture attached.

What is the "proper" angle. I will have the Jenny style gear with spoked wheels and a Ford A engine with what prop I do not know yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
