Hi Don,
Congratulations on your Ford A start-up. I just ran mine for the first time last
November. I timed my mags (aftermarket 8 plug head) to 30 degrees before TC
with 25 degree lag on the impulses.?It fires off after a shot of prime and a couple
blades pull-through. Here is the link to the video. That is my wife screaming
in the background.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: engine run
I passed one more milestone today.? Ran the Ford engine for about 2 minutes.? I
was trying to start it earlier today with a friend assisting.? It would only
fire one cylinder with the impulse, occasionally.? After he left, I advanced the
timing a little more and it started on the second flip of the prop.? Unfortunately,
I didn't have the camera out there with me and I had turned off the gas
at the tank, so when my wife heard it start and ran out with the camera, it
was running great, but stopped before she could get a picture.? Then I couldn't
get it started again.? At least now I know that it will run and just have to
figure out the proper procedure to start it.? Still need to build the cowling
and then put the wings and tail back on.? Hopefully it will go back together
again ok, now that the fabric is on it.? I haven't tried to put the ailerons
on the wings, or the tail back together since they were covered.

Dan,
I love that video. How did you choose that prop? Did you design it?
Thanks,

during 'Showcase' time slots
EAA is considering featuring Pietenpols during either a Wednesday the 29th
or Saturday August 1st Homebuilt
Review Showcase time slot where we would launch roughly five Piets with var
ious engines--- one Model A, one Corvair, one Continental, and fly a racet
rack pattern in front of the crowd while an announcer describes the airplan
e and various engine types for a few minutes.
EAA needs to know---- would the Wednesday time slot be better ??? My pr
eliminary answer to them was YES as I think most of you will be long gone w
ith your Pietenpols by Saturday August 1st.
LASTLY-I need to know if we have ENOUGH GUYS to fly a five-ship fly-by....a
t least with various powerplants or not. If we have enough guys there will
ing to fly, EAA will give us some good face time with the crowd-which would
be wonderful.
Thank you !
Mike C.
PS-Please respond directly to me so as not to clutter up the list unnecessa
rily.

Jeff,
I found that prop besign once at Brodhead. I took a photo of it and scaled it up
to a 76" prop design. Then I learned how to carve a prop when I was at Oshkosh
'07. I used a chain saw and 7" disc sander. I actually have produced a detailed
instructional CD (not a video) on how to do it. I have them for sale now.
Contact me off-list if you might be interested.

Review during 'Showcase' time slots
I think I plan on flying home on tues a.m. so I don't think I would be able to.
I found another problem we have to fix on the piet before Brodhead. The flywheel/
ring gear is cracked (again) so time to make some mods to the starter setup.
Bell Corvair mk4, hoping to make the big show. Time for some nuts, bolts,
machine work, and then some cold beer.
Hope to see y'all there,
Shad
p.s. I know, I know, should have put a Continental on it.....But what would I have
learned! ha ha ha

Ive had luck belting bags to the front seat, I had the front stick REMOVED,
though, which made it almost impossible for it to get bound. Rudder was
probably the greatest vulnerability.

I am wondering what you that have made air scoops for the Corvair used and how
you shaped the front edge of them. I would like to have either a beaded edge or
something to stiffen it.anyway any tips or pictures would be helpful.Raymond

Raamond, We just used the stock corvair fan shroud with the front cut out, and
the hole for the blower was covered with sheet metal welded in. Look at westcostpiet.com
and I think there are some good pictures with the cowling off. As
far as making some out of aluminum, I would recomend using soft aluminum .040"
or so and wrap the edge with a thin steel wire for added stiffness.
