    Subject: firewall insulating barrier
    I put fiberfrax on mine. You don't really need it, if you don't need the firewall. If the engine catches fire, the more insulation the better. Jack Phillips NX899JP "Icarus Plummet" Raleigh, NC -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Kenneth Bickers Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2011 2:37 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: firewall insulating barrier <bickers.ken@gmail.com> I'm approaching a point where I'll need to install a firewall. I'm wondering if there is any consensus on the need/desirability of installing a heat resistant barrier (e.g., fiberfrax) between the plywood and the stainless or galvanized sheet metal firewall. Those of you further along or with flying Piets, what have you done? Thanks, Ken

    Subject: Slow list day.........How about this idea?
    From: helspersew@aol.com
    Hi Pieters, I have been working diligently (and slowly) on rebuilding my "A" since the mishap last Sept. when my timing gear disintegrated. I decided to continue to use my 8-plug head, powered by one crank-driven mag, and a hybrid electr onic ignition/battery ignition system. I bought a 4.4 lb. battery from ACS, which will energize the coil (looks like standard Model A coil) via a smal l electronic ignition module. I am imagining a small solar panel mounted on the fuel tank cover, to charge the battery. OK let the flames begin. (it's OK because I used Fiberfrax) And no smart as s remarks like "What would Bernerd say, Dan?" Dan Helsper Puryear TN., (until tomorrow only)

    I don't know what the output of a solar panel that size would be but I'd be surprised if it was enough to keep the battery up in-flight with steady ignition draw. seems like a small generator driven by a small prop in the slipstream would be a lot cooler looking.but of course heavier.

    From: Kenneth Bickers <bickers.ken@gmail.com>
    I like this. Think of the possibilities of having the small prop on the belly. You can tell people it is a pre-WWII JATO. Or that you are getting your twin rating in the Piet. Or that with the radiator on the top, you needed a way to keep the bottom of the engine cool. Or that, though you have to make several passes, you use it to cut your own strip for off-airport landings. I'm sure others can come up with other possibilities.
