Looking for a Continental Engine 65,75,85 or 90. Preferably a runout
to be rebuilt but will consider what's available. Have time to wait
awhile but will buy when opportunity presents itself. Will pickup with
CASH.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: First Taxi Test
Today I successfully completed the first taxi test of Pietenpol N491RH.
It has been a long haul to get to this point. I bought the plans from
Bernie Pietenpol in August of 1969, just after I got home from the EAA
Convention at Rockford. There is some wood in the plane that I cut that
month. Various moves, job responsibilities, divorce, travel, etc. have
caused starts and stops in the project over the years, but I am finally
ready to call for inspection for an Airworthyness Certificate. I picked
the screen name "slowbilder" (misspelling intentional) for this
listserve as ap propriately reflecting the 37 years it has taken to get
to this point.
The plane is built from the 1933 plans. The tailwheel installation is
my own design. I did not move the wing back, but extended the engine
mount. The CG came out within the envelope. With the stock landing
gear it is of course very light on the tailwheel. I am using a
Continental C-75-12 for power. It has the generator and starter. The
battery is mounted on the front of the firewall.
The airframe was completed before we had routine access to the internet
(Maybe even before the internet existed.) and I rarely had contact with
other Piet builders, so I spent lots of nights working out the answers
to questions that we can get on-line now in a short time. It is
rewarding to see that most of the solutions I am seeing in this forum
are the same that I came up with. I appreciate the answers to my
questions I have received from you folks out there.
I'll keep you posted as I pass further milestones.
