sell them to the Enquirer...

My dad tells a story about flying a J-5 over the lake we lived on when
he was a younger man. It's not a terribly interesting story, until he
appended the word "backwards."
With a 35mph headwind, you should be able to hover, at least.

I don't know how you endure such difficult weather conditions Chris. My h
eart really goes out for you guys:)
Keep plugging on your Pietenpol project. One day in the future you'll be
able to take that weather and put it to good
use.
Flying is cheaper than therapy or a mistress.

I just got down from a brief excursion in the RV-4. A few loops and rolls
and a hammerhead over Smith Mountain Lake (we're up here for the weekend).
I wish I had the Pietenpol here, wx is perfect.

| Subject: | Re: Ethanol in Mogas-- more coming |
Nope, I don't think you're missing anything. I wish we were missing
something and I'd love to hear solutions or tricks or work-arounds
that actually work.
As to mandates, there is a brief article at
http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2010/05/with-new-mandates-being-questioned-ethanol-lobby-points-to-gulf-oil-disaster.html
that suggests the new mandates may be delayed. Here's hoping.
I am lucky in that I can buy avgas at several local airports. Within
30 miles the prices today range from a high of $7.70 at
Hartsfield-Jackson to a low of $3.49 at Jackson County (19A). I, of
course, always buy at 19A. :)
The cheapest premium grade gasoline in the area is $3.03. The price
difference between suspect premium gasoline and avgas is thus $3.49 -
3.03 = $0.46 per gallon. I fly about 100 hrs per year at about 5 gal
per hour. Using just this snapshot of data, the cost of the peace of
mind of avgas for a year's flying is 100 hrs x 5 gal/hr x 0.46
dollars/gal = $230. Even if the price difference was double, that
might be the best deal in aviation.
But, like I said, I'm lucky. Not all of us even has access to avgas,
and many that do must pay much, much more for it. And like I said, I
wish we were all missing something here, some strategy or trick, but
I don't think we are.

| Subject: | What must be done to invert a Ford Model A engine? |
I did a search on the site but didn't find much detailed information. Didn't find
much information elsewhere on the web, either, though possibly I could with
a diligent search.
So, exactly what alterations must be performed to make a Ford Model A run reliably
when inverted? Lubrication system, cooling system, carburetor/manifolds, etc.
Attention, Pieti Lowell.....
(Any relation? I'm from the northwest Illinois Franks.)

I think you need to first turn it into a Model B engine, and then turn that
into a Funk engine. The Model A has a mostly splash lubed crank, doesn't it?
Hard to make that work when you turn it upside down. Do tell, why would you
want to try that?

I built the inverted B Ford block.( Funk ) In 1998. It is hangered at Palmyra WI.
The basics are, Oil pump in the dist, spot. radiator is parallel to left side of
block, with dampers to control temps.oil drains to oil sump on fire wall from
the valve cover front and back locations.crank drilled to accept oil from mains.
side mounted mag,water pump driven from rear pulley on crank, there is a
1"hi ring that is anchored at each cylinder to slow oil flow into piston/rod area,6.25
compression and alum. head.64 HP.
There are a few other items that are required but it sure makes a faster, clean
operating Pietenpol.
The Funk Airplane used this engine in it's early models.

I have a GN-1 but I think they are the same. Don't have specs for ailerons but
for the elevators up 20 deg. down max. 30. Rudder is left and right to within
1" of touching the elevator edge with elevator at neutral position.
