    too cold Jack, after your CFII test I would like to speak to you about the process of becoming a CFII. I have my Advanced Ground Instructor rating and would like to get my instrument ticket next (along with instrument Ground Instructor), then my commercial followed by my CFI and then CFII. I would like to be prepared to be a flight instructor as my "retirement" career.

    too cold OT Luscombe Shad, if you are really looking for a Luscombe, A friend of mine (Vern Foster) has his for sale. If I remember correctly, his is a 1939 Luscombe (the LSA) . I don't know the hours, but I know it is is great shape and he wants under $20,000. I hope to take the Colorado Pilots Association Mountain Flying course from Vern this next spring. He is 95 and started flying in 1939. He has forgotten more about flying than I will ever know.

    Steve, Another good mountain flying instructor is Larry Duane. He's the flight instructor that worked with my son through to his ASEL in our Pacer. Here's Larry's website: http://www.coloradobackcountryfliers.com. He's based out of Longmont, Colorado, which is where our hangar and Pietenpol project are located. Cheers, Ken

    Scott, Thanks for the info; like you said wonder if the Cont. was tampered with over the years. wow! what a nose! looks like you can really stretch your legs in there... did he have a gas tank behind the engine then? We have the room for it, but really after flying the Piet for an 1hr I'd like to land... if you know what I mean. Ours have a C-65 and it already seems like plenty of power, I guess if you are close to the mountains it's always welcomed! I like you crop duster advise, take care, p. -------- 560 Dreamer Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=356896#356896

    From: "AircamperN11MS" <Scott.liefeld@lacity.org>
    Hi Peter, I don't remember if that piet had a nose tank. I have a tank in the nose (10 Gal) and one in the center section(12.5Gal). The one in the nose is from an Opal Kadet car and the one in the center section is a Cessna 140 wing tank. I have a C-85 and burn between 5 and 5.9 GPH depending on how I have the plane loaded. The plane will fly longer than my backside will. But it is still nice to have the extra range when needed. -------- Scott Liefeld Flying N11MS since March 1972 Steel Tube C-85-12 Wire Wheels Brodhead in 1996 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=356899#356899

    Group, Has anyone had any experience with a Franklin 65hp? There is one for sale on the field for $200, just wondering if it's a $200 boat anchor. Brian SLC-UT

    Hi Brian Keep in mind - in SLC 65 horses are going to be pretty anemic. I used to fly a Cessna 140 out of SLC #1 with a C-75 and in the summer we'd be doing well to clear the power lines up by Skypark.

    As one of the less common 65HP engines out there parts are going to be more difficult to find.....and at only $200, that would suggest that it is going to need plenty of work to make it usable.....thusly far more expensive of a proposition than more common options (small Continentals, Corvair, etc etc). On the other hand, if you've got $200 burning a hole in you pocket, and want a conversation piece for your hangar..... :P Ryan On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 11:54 AM, <brian.e.jardine@l-3com.com> wrote: > > > Group, > Has anyone had any experience with a Franklin 65hp?

    The 65 Franklin is pretty much a boat anchor. It is pretty animec compared to the A-65. Parts have not been made in a lot of years. Franklins are now made in Europe and parts for new engines are difficult to get. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Mueller <rmueller23@gmail.com> Sent: Fri, Nov 4, 2011 1:19 pm Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Franklin 65hp As one of the less common 65HP engines out there parts are going to be more difficult to find.....and at only $200, that would suggest that it is goin g to need plenty of work to make it usable.....thusly far more expensive of a proposition than more common options (small Continentals, Corvair, etc e tc).

    The 65hp Franklin was a 4 cyl engine made in the 1940s. It was a very smooth runing and quiet, but less powerful than the Cont 65. Later in the 1960 s Franklin made a 2 cyl 60 hp eng that was used in a Champion aircraft.

    Don, thank you for the update on Mehlin Smith. My first ride in a Pietenpol was a Model A powered red machine that I am quite sure Mehlin owned at the time but was being flown by another gentleman when I got my ride. It was a noisy, windy, wonderful experience. I think of it often as I struggle to make some progress on my very slow project. Ralph in South Dakota
