    The only issues that Ken Perkins's steerable tail-wheel system has; is when the installer uses a shorter control arm than the rudder arm, it will disengage before you want it to. Just do it correctly and then there will be no surprises.

    Believe it or not, I have thought about putting a Cummins diesel in a Pietenpol. They have a 3.3 liter engine, same displacement and similar size as a Model A engine, 65 HP @ 2600 rpm, but very heavy (and expensive). It probably could be done - but not by me!

    3.0l Vortec is my guess. It says it ships at 363lbs, but that could include the crate weight, too. On 06/30/2011 11:03 AM, Ryan Mueller wrote: > And which model is that?

    Thanks Dan. It was only after Ryan suggested that I submit it, that I did submit it. Funny thing is that AVweb didn't even notify me that the photo was selected. So, thanks for the heads-up as well. Bill C. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=344508#344508

It has at least five years since Bob and I exchanged messages about this, and I have lost a lot of material to a dying hard drive since then. However, it was the 3.0l Vortec he had in mind. The horsepower, weight, and I believe cruise RPM (not sure about that last) almost exactly matched the Model A. Weight assumed replacing the cast iron manifold with welded steel tubing. (Pretty sure the shipping weight does include the crate.) The details may have changed since they switched from a carb to fuel injection, but it should still be pretty close. What made this engine so attractive, of course, was the price for a rebuilt engine. I remember (to the limited extent that verb describes what I actually do!) it as being around $800. It's probably a bit more now. Owen

    Unless the manifold and crate weigh 120 lbs combined, that engine is a fair amount heavier than a Model A at ~244lbs..

    From: Bryce Reid <1rciokc@gmail.com>
    I am new to this list and was wondering, is white pine acceptable to use in building the Pietenpol? Its my understanding that spruce is what most builders are using but I have a good supply of close grained white pine. Thanks Bryce Oklahoma City Started on fuselage and wing ribs

    Subject: Re: Is White Pine Acceptable?
    The short answer is "maybe." Per: http://www.sportair.com/articles/Aircraft%20Wood%20-%20Part%20One.html "The primary source of information for the builder may be obtained from FAA Advisory Circular 43-13, government bulletin ANC-19, and from a copy of Mil-Spec-6073. Advisory Circular 43-13 lists a number of different types of wood that may be used in an aircraft structure..." "As you can see from the chart White Pine is 85-96% as strong as spruce. It is easy to work with and is somewhat available. A number of kit manufacturers are using White Pine successfully within their designs. It is low in hardness and shock resisting capability. It cannot be used as a direct substitute for spruce without an increase in size to compensate for the lesser strength." Finding the minimum rings-per-inch (6) and maximum grain slope (1:15) at your local big box home improvement store will be nearly impossible, though some people have been able to do it given enough time and effort to sift through the stacks and stacks of wood and then coming back the following week and doing it again. And again. And again.

    There are 3 Vortec engines that might fit the bill. A 1.6l, 2.4l, and the 3.0l. I think the 2.4l is probably the one Bob was talking about. It comes in at 247lbs and provides the most torque at 3200RPM and about 90hp. http://industrial-irrigation.com/assets/files/REV_2011_2400_Industrial.pdf The 1.6l comes in at 220lbs and provides the top torque at 3200RPM and 70hp: http://www.bucksengines.com/Data/32.pdf $800 for an overhaul does sound appealing.

    Best do the engineering on both for comparison. There is a big difference. Also, justify your findings with real load test to verify. " ...don't fly any higher then you would like to fall! " -------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=344530#344530

    Subject: Re: Is White Pine Acceptable?
    From: "Bill Church" <billspiet@sympatico.ca>
    As the others have said, "it depends". As the builder, if you are selecting your own wood, it is very important that you know exactly what species you are actually choosing. You mentioned "white pine", but do you know the true species? There are different varieties of white pine, with different physical characteristics. And, just to make things even more complicated, as can be seen in the two attachments, one species of wood (Pinus strobus) is referred to as Northern White Pine in AC43.13-1B, but also referred to as Eastern White Pine in ANC-18. The white pine species shown in the chart clearly have lower strength values compared to Sitka; some more significant than others. The short answer is exactly what AC43.13-1B says; "Cannot be used as a substitute for spruce without increase in sizes to compensate for lesser strength." Which doesn't mean that you couldn't build a successful Piet from "white pine"; it just means that you would need to know exactly what you are working with, and you would also need to know how to adjust the sizes of the members to appropriately allow for the lesser strength. And you should also do some actual testing of the wood you intend to use, to ensure that it has properties in line with the published values. Seems like a lot of work to me. Bill C.

However, the late Bob Hoover (the VW expert and blogger, not the aerobatics pilot) pointed out that GM has a 65-horse industrial engine that is almost an exact match for the Model A, including weight. Rebuilt, it's dirt cheap. Sorely tempting. Owen
