Rick, and Gordon: Rick, I suspect you got your wish on the game last
night. My son and grand kids were here yesterday from Co. Spgs. Bad as
it sounds, I was going to ignore them to watch the game until it was so
one sided at half time, I let the kids have the TV and became a good
host. As of 8 AM Sun. I still don't know if KU pulled one out of their
@@@ and turned it around. Gordon: I don't follow College football too
close, but I to was rootin for KU, but just for state pride. You
couldn't help it with the last week of hipe. Thats ALL we heard. On wood
glue- The Aeropoxy i used was not too runny at all. If I used too much
in a vertical bond I would experience some running of the excess that
was squeezed out, but a simple cleanup took care of that. All of my test
pieces broke in the wood. I never looked into the glue he recomended
because at that time my gluing was about 90% finished. On winter, the
Almanac says the last day of days getting shorter is Dec. 7th. The first
day we start gaining day light is Dec. 13. I start to perk up on Dec.

it.

Hi folks,
Piet list newbie here. I and a buddy are putting one together we hope to have flying
next summer. We recently scored a low time A-75, clean as a whistle inside.
Regarding props: so far in what I have gleaned from comments here and there, a
good choice for this combo would be in the 72-38 to 72-40 range. One poster commented
that a 72-42 seemed a bit too much load and kept the engine from reaching
top revs during takeoff. I guess it makes a good cruise prop though.
Maybe this topic has been covered in ages past, but I didn't find too much in my
feeble search attempts.
Any comments?
Thanks!
Mike D.

Leon,
KU gave them a good run for the second half, let things get out of hand in
first half. Mizzou has a good team, hope they meet WVU in NC game.
Alaskans gotta embrace the winter, then sneek off to FL, AZ or HI in Jan.
Feb. If that don't get it, the light the house and workshop up like inside
of the sun.

Welcome to the list Mike. Props are always a good subject. I'm flying
behind an A 65 and have a Struba 74 X 38. Works very well for me both in
climb and in cruise. Someone else on the list had a Struba 76 X 38 with an
A 65 they were happy with.
The main reason I went with Struba is because he will repitch the prop as
many times as it takes to get it right for free. I'm sure you will get a
lot more input from the others.

Chet,
My Mentor designed and built an adapter, with Mag, that he sells. (and
he's not in it for the money.)
If interested, I'll give you his phone #

Perhaps you mean Sterba?
I have a Sterba prop on my A-65 which is a 72 x 42 which also works very
well in both climb and cruise and the price and delivery sure was right.

Mike
Several of us who run the A-65 use a Sensenich 72x42. I get a cruise of
about 75 mph.
Also, welcome to the list.

Thank you Dick!
Since the A-75 only becomes a "75" when allowed to run up to a bit higher rpm than
the A-65, it sounds then like a 72-40 or 72-38 is in the ballpark.

I've seen references here and there to steel fittings laser cut and bent by emachineshop.
Does emachineshop have a set of drawing files on file (courtesy of
some industrious homebuilder) which they would reproduce when requested, or do
I need to work from scratch to provide CAD files?
Thanks,
Mike
p.s. I have more foolish/innocent questions to go, this is likely just the tip
of the iceberg! :)

| Subject: | Re: A-65 Exhaust |
Gene,
Thanks for the help. I think I'm about ready to start on mine. I have
the old ones sitting next to me here on the kitchen table.
Which heat muffs from Wicks did you use, and do you remember the price?
I don't see any for 1-1/4" pipes, only for 1-3/4". Thanks for the
help...if you ever get any pictures, let me know.
Thanks,
Steve Ruse
Norman, OK
Steve,
Finally finished up my exhaust. Went with 18" straight stacks for the
back
and 161/2" for the front cylinders. Used stainless pipe from ACS and
heat
muffs (put one on each side) from Wicks. They look and sounds great. I
had
contacted robbinswings and he told me they don't make muffs for 11/2'
exhaust so I went with Wicks.
