For what it's worth.
Don't know anything about it except what the add says, but there is a
80% complete Piet with an A-65 for $5,500 on barnstormers.com .
Indicates it's been built by an A & P. If the A-65 is fresh, it's worth
that price alone.

Subject: | Re: 164 corvair engine |
Ted, I would highly recomend using the 1966 corvair engine if it is in good shape.
Most parts are intercahangable from 1965- 1969, the 1964 is kind of a "bastard"
engine. We started with a 1964, and think the later model is much better.
Heads are a little "beefier" on the 66. Jugs and heads on 64's must both
be 64's, can't mix 64 jugs or heads with 65-69 jugs or heads. Also VERY IMPORTANT!!!,
Check the heads and make sure all spark plug holes are clean with no
burrs or helicoils!!!! This cost us The 1st engine,(broken crank, and burt
piston all 1964 year parts) and a trailer ride home. If any spark plug holes
are worn I would recomend sending them to William Wynne's Head guy in wisconsin,I
forget his name but I can probably find it for you. I'm no expert on Corvairs,
but would hate to see someone else go through the grief, scares, and lessons
$$$ we learded the hard way. Even Wynne was supprised at some of the weird
symptoms we had with our engine, but when we
found out the problems, we let him know so he could forward it on to other builders.

Ryan,
The difficult part about this is that most builders find that they need (or
want) to adjust the metal parts slightly to fit the actual plane that they
are building with their hands.
So, you may find that metal parts made exactly to the plans don't quite fit
properly (or maybe they do). And it is very unlikely that parts taken off
one Pietenpol would fit perfectly onto another. Also, many builders have
come to realize (thanks largely to Mike Cuy's video) that some of the
fittings as drawn are a bit "tight" when it comes to installing fasteners,
and can be made much more "user friendly" by extending them slightly.
I have not yet made any of my metal parts (other than my tail hinges - and I
didn't do those to the plans), so I can't give you what I don't have, but if
you have specific parts in mind that you would like CAD files for, let me
know, and I could crank out some drawings (based on the original plans) for
you. The bulk of the parts are pretty straightforward, so copying them into
CAD is easy. Let me know what you're after.
Bill C.

Subject: | Re: CAD Metal Parts |
Initially I drew all the metal parts in CAD but I ended up not using the drawings
because of fit issues like Bill C. was referring to. I also do not like to
send them out because I do not want them to get out in the public domain and
have people wast a lot of time and money on fittings that do not fit properly.
The best idea is to make the metal bits after you build the parts they attach
to. I find it real easy to make simple paper patterns off of the wooden parts.
A lot of my fuselage fittings are slightly modified for better edge margins
and size. Nothing major just a slight tweak. That being said I'd bet there
are a bunch of planes flying with plans fittings.

Last year at Tracy Crook's rotary engine fly-in down in Bell Florida there
was a gentleman with a Mazda derived single rotor engine. He had made a custom
casting for one of the end plates. This engine ran very well and produced and
estimated 100 HP.
I do not recall his name.

I believe these are photos of Richard's single rotor engine and parts.
Looks like someone with reasonable machine shop skills and equipment
should be able to make such an end iron.
The last I heard was Richard had sent his rotor and counterweight off to
some big rotary racing /aftermarket parts outfit for balancing and they
have sat on the project for more than reasonable time. (over six months)
without doing anything about it.

I'm really gunshy about water in my gas because I've heard of so many
accidents caused by this. Recently I've been looking at accessories for
outboard boat motors and noticed they use "water seperating filters" which
look much like a regular oil filter in a similar housing, which could mount
on the firewall before the gascolator.
Does anyone know how these work, and is it completely redundant since we
have sumps and drains in the tank and in the gascolator, or is it a good bit
of extra insurance? They weigh a few pounds.
Also, I'd really appreciate any input regarding the amount of endurance that
seems right? Leaving 30 minutes of fuel in my tank, which is cutting it
awefully close for my taste, will give me about two and a half to three
hours.

Boats have water separators because they have big tanks with no practical way to
put a sump in the bottom of them and they also have a tendency to operate in
a very wet environment.
If you put sumps at the lowest points in your fuel system and drain them before
each flight you will get all of the water out and a water separator would just
be a redundant part adding weight and another thing in your fuel line with the
potential to cause leaks or other problems.

The basic requirement is that there is a sump at the low point of the
system. On one plane a few years ago I installed a in line fuel filter and
the DAR had me remove it because it could clog and cut off fuel. I see the
same potential problem with a fuel water seperator for a boat. I have one
of these on my boat and I have had the engine shut down because of clogs.
