Hey Jeff,
Probably more like 75 miles, but I'll meet you wherever you like. I'm
really wanting to ck out Lee Bottom, and my friend owns Crawdaddy private
airstrip in Carrollton, both really nice grass fields.

| Subject: | Aerovee Engine Revisited |
Thanks to all of the input from many of you guys and some additional study, I've
come to the conclusion there are better alternatives to the VW/Aerovee for a
Piet.
Simply. The Aerovee puts out about 125 ft./lbs. of torque and turns a 54" prop
easily. The Continental A-65 puts out about 150 ft./lbs. of torque and the Corvair
about 160 ft./lbs. Both would do a better job of swining a 72" plus prop
and get the necessary thrust required for the Piet.
Does anyone have a torque/HP curve for the Model A Ford?
Any suggestions on the best sources to purchase Model A, A-65 or Corvair?
Thanks for the input.

As for the Corvair, the only/best way to start is to visit these two sites:
www.flycorvair.net; www.flycorvair.com. I am glad to see that you have moved
on from the VW. Continental, Corvair, Ford are ALL better choices!

Does anyone know the part # and brand of the tooth counter for a Stewart
Warner tach for a Corvair engine. Not the big plastic one, but the small one
about the diameter of a pencil?
Thanks

Hello--
According to a 1930 Ford sales catalog, the "stock" Model A engine had a
peak HP of about 38 and peak torque of about 125 lbs--BUT peak torque was
at about 1200 RPM which is what is important for swinging a direct drive,
big prop. And, of course, most folks pump up the Model A a bit with high
compression heads, B carburetors and intake manifolds, etc.

I've been scanning some old photos and came across these. First ski flying I did
was in Karl Erickson's Air Camper, about 1992, when these photos were taken.
