Already done. One engine upside down on top of
the other with a jackshaft between them. I have a
pic here somewhere in my ancient ( pre Kitplanes )
mags but there are a LOT of them.

So are you building the world's first twin-engined Pietenpol?

Michael, I have never seen a 65 out of an airplane, but I highly
recommend that when you take the engines apart you label each piece and
keep them separate. I also recommend that you not go by memory on this.
You're quite a bit younger than I, but any of us can dis-remember
things -- as my dad used to say. Chuck
Do not archive.

Thanks Jack...HA! Yes, Maybe one on each wing or perhaps I can
make some type of gear unit for one to make it a pusher!
Ryan, no logs, no papers, nothing. The gentleman acquired,
(bought?) these engines about three years ago from some type of estate
sale. They have been sitting in his garage/shed ever since. The tapered
crank engine will not rotate by hand, the flanged crank engine turns
quite easily. Still, I will be taking both apart and seeing what I have
to work with.

I agree with you completely Chuck. As I did with my GTO restoration...docum
entation and organization!- When I am done here on the computer, I will s
hovel snow off the drive, (I guess I should go to work Monday...) and then
get started on the disassembly.

Hey all!
For those of us pounding through the daily grind of a build, it would be
super encouraging and fun if you guys (and gals?) already flying could send
in some cool flying stories and photographs.
I for one always enjoy when someone shares a good flying story/adventure,
and really appreciate everyone's photos, flying or otherwise.
So, your act of charity to get me through this winter of waiting for ACS
orders to arrive, and routing wires and rebuilding fuel tanks (for the
fourth time.) can be a simple tax-deductible donation of a good story and or
photo photo.
Ready, set..GO!!!
Douwe
Ps. Thanks!

Subject: | Exhaust stud hole |
Andrew=3B
I have helicoiled two of the stud holes on my A65. I bought
the kit on eBay for just a couple of bucks (drill bit=2C helicoil
tool=2C a handful of helicoils=2C wooden dowel). After my heart
sank when the first one spun in the head=2C my A&P calmed me down
by loaning me his helicoil set and it turned out nice. So
when another one spun (I was replacing my mild steel stacks
with stainless ones)=2C I was ready for the job.

Pretty much an exact description of how Scout is set up. Ben=2C it
sounds like I could blindfold you=2C point you in the general direction
of our two airplanes=2C and you could start up and fly either one without
knowing which one it was. Oh=2C but please remove the blindfold before you
try to
prop-start it =3Bo)

I met one of the past owners of that airplane.- I forgot his name, but he
had a luscombe just north of ORD accross the WI state line.- I flew up t
o do a pre buy on the Luscombe, and got to talking airplanes.- The twin e
ngine piet had since been converted to single engine.- I also have a pict
ure of the twin eng setup in an old Air Progress magizine from the 60's.-
If I can find it I will scan and post the article.

Cool! Exciting day for you Michael.
Actually, as strange as it sounds, if you did build a twin engined Piet, it
would not be the first. Several years ago, someone did build a Piet with t
wo engines (A-65s I think). The really strange part was that they were inst
alled with one sitting above the other. From memory, I recall reading that
it had two counter-rotating propellers (one in front of the other) - one di
rect driven, and the other belt driven. A very strange idea, with no good r
eason that I can think of to justify all the work necessary to achieve succ
ess, let alone all the extra weight.
