It is a nice three foot high metal stand on four L-bent legs with a small try on the bottom level. Make a pattern of your prop bolts and drill out the pattern on the top of this stand. Bolt your A65 engine to the stand and you have a very nice engine builder stand for about $30.00 bucks. Then you can spin the motor and work on it as you need plus.... it is off the floor and secure in a wide base stand out of the way until needed. If you need some photos, advise and I can send you some. Ken Heide Fargo, ND Scott Schreiber wrote: Picked it up today after a 10 hour round trip, A65-8 130h SMOH with two mags, prop hub, and carb. I need to ferret out a few things, eyebrows, aircleaner assembly, and I am sure a few small items. I need to fab up my exhaust system and need to do some research on carb heat and other such details. http://www.subarubrat.com/misc/Pietengine.jpg -Scott --------------------------------- Bored stiff?

Thank you very much guys! I cannot either wait to see the finished product!! In the meantime i'm enjoying the construction. I guess I will cover it with an argentinian made dacron fabric (much less expensive). Saludos Santiago --------------------------------- Pregunt. Respond. Descubr.

Trimmed out in level cruise with about 1/2 tank and just me aboard, things settled down and I intentionally set 2350 RPM on the tach (not sure if it's calibrated though). Level cruise about 68 MPH indicated. This is Pietenpol country. If I firewall the throttle I can increase cruise to 70-75 easily, but the airplane feels like it's fighting me a little bit and I have to keep my head down behind the windscreen. If I set things like they really want to be, I can hold my head normally and things settle down pretty well. I made a high-speed pass again, but with a 15-20 MPH headwind right down the runway, nobody was impressed when 41CC came purring down the runway at a groundspeed just a little better than the tractor that was mowing the areas alongside the runway. My landing wasn't anything to write home about, but the wind was at least 15, quartering when I touched down, so I was happy. The tires and spring gear take all the embarassment out of bounced landings, I'm glad to say. This is a fun airplane!

I think the steel strapping for the fuel tank sounds like a good method but I also have some nylon straps that would work well if I find a way to tighten them. I am going to try a 3/8 hole for the steam vent and can go larger if needed. I am still a ways from running the engine but would like to have the machine work on the head done so I can install it. I am going to try to get to sun'n'fun at least 2 days 17&18 and maybe I will get to see a real live Pietenpol there Don Lane ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
