Subject: | Re: New Crankshafts for Fords |
Burlington Crank has offered the same for many years. Priced at about $1000.00.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: New Crankshafts for Fords
I just ran across an announcement that SCAT Enterprises, which is
well-known for cranks for racing VWs and lately for newer Ford V-8 blocks,
is now offering Chromoly forged cranks for Model As and Ts.
They are apparently counterweighted, accurately machined and balanced and
micropolished. I assume they are for insert bearings, but the
announcement didn't say one way or the other.
Sound interesting for Ford aficionados who can't find a good, straight,
stock crank.

I probably have 6 or 7 thousand hours, and no engine failures. I've shut a few
down in twin engine jets, no big deal at all. Lost ALL my oil in a single engine
jet, and had several other problems (took out the hydraulic flight controls,
there was a manual back up), but managed to get it on the ground in under
ten minutes. The engine ran flawlessly throughout, which I thought was amazing.
That thing was cranking some 10K rpms, for ten minutes, with NO oil.
Purely an estimate, but I probably have more than 2 thousand hours in simulators...
there, on the other hand, I've lost so many engines for a while I wasn't
sure I could land a plane with both engines running!
I'm new to this light civil aviation thing. It's amazing how much I have to learn,
and change my mindset. In the military, where all the above happened, I
had an ejection seat. That TOTALLY changes your mindset. In the airlines, I've
NEVER had an engine problem ANYWHERE other than on the start. And flying them
single engine really is no big deal. Crazy reliable and spoils you.
I got a ride in a Bonanza one day. The pilot took off, waited a while, muttered
a safe landing could no longer be made and retracted the gear. My whole life,
a safe STOP can't even be made quite some time before you even get airborne.
Lots of little things like that.
Then there's the old B-57 guys and the dreaded SEVEN engine approach!

Actually the B-57 only had two engines... of course a flight of four could
have had a 7 engine approach...

The mag mount cracked the day before, and was welded. It broke again when the
crankshaft broke, I think because the jagged halves of the crank were pounding
back against the mag drive.
Pulling the engine the day before to repair the mag mount, under the proverbial
shade tree:

Actually, having been around a bunch (SAC) of B52's and a few B57's (Viet Nam)
there's more than a seven engine difference.

Subject: | Re: Wise words from a wise man |
Excellent article.
One important point for those of us building "older" designs is that we are forced
to do some ad hoc engineering, Case in point, seat belt/shoulder harness.
My Hoopman plans show nothing in that area so, like all the rest, I'll have
to borrow from others and apply my version of best practice. In all probability,
my version will be a TLAR installation but, to the best of my meager knowledge,
that's what the young Mr Pietenpol did from the start so at least there's
some consistency. TLAR -- That Looks About Right.
Absent guidance from the designer at least we have Tony Bingelis for things like
fuel system, brakes, electrics (I know, such heresy) and so on.

FAA:
Sec. 91.303
Aerobatic flight.
No person may operate an aircraft in aerobatic flight--
(a) Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement;
(b) Over an open air assembly of persons;
(c) Within the lateral boundaries of the surface areas of Class B, Class C, Class
D, or Class E airspace designated for an airport;
(d) Within 4 nautical miles of the center line of any Federal airway;
(e) Below an altitude of 1,500 feet above the surface; or
(f) When flight visibility is less than 3 statute miles.
For the purposes of this section, aerobatic flight means an intentional maneuver
involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude, an abnormal attitude,
or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight.
What are the safety margins designed into the Pietenpol? What is the designed wing
loads and stress at designed weight? What does yours weight? Any mod's?
.... any questions?

Subject: | three A65-12 engines for sale with all accessories, starters |
Hi all,
I just got off the phone with Rob Bach and he informs me that Ray Allen
(of the Mooney Mite club) in Camp Verde, AZ has 3 low time A65-12
engines sitting on stands waiting to be installed on a/c. These engines
come with carbs, mags, and best of all, starters.
Two engines have 600 hrs total time and I think he's asking around
$6-7K. One engine has 2000 hrs total time and I think he's asking
around $9k because it has new Millenium cylinders. All engines are 0
time SMOH.
If anyone is interested, drop me a line off list and I'll help you get
the info.
Cheers,
Dan

I think I recognize several good eggs in that shot. Did Frank ever find out why
or where the crank broke?

I am beginning to think I should never have brought up the subject of spins. It
seems spins are more controversial than Corvairs.
