Thanks, Oscar. I will probably get a 20-100 MPH UMA tach for SkyScout. If I ever get over 100, I will probably just clamp off and slow down, I won't want to know how much over I went!

I realize that most Piets have a marked Vne in the 90s, but some of the Corvair powered Piets claim that they cruise in the yellow and have Vnes in the triple digits. My guess is that the instrument would cost the same regardless of the range, but given a choice I would much rather have an instrument that reads on down into the 20MPH range than one that starts at 40 and goes up to 120+. > > -------- > Oscar Zuniga > Medford, OR > Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" > A75 power > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=410661#410661 > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:42:58 PM PST US From: Michael Perez Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Airspeed indicators?

From: "AircamperN11MS" Ray, Kerri Ann has the Johnson type indicator Kits available. It is light weight, easy to see and looks cool. I have one similar on my plane. Dad made it back in the 70's, very simple and mine has been calibrated by hanging it out the window of our old 1962 Pontiac station wagon back in the day. It also doesn't take up any precious panel space. -------- 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=410713#410713 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:37:09 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Jeep Engine From: "aviken" Has anyone ever considered converting an old Jeep engine to use in the piet. Reason I ask is I have a couple of them and they would be close to the weight and horsepower of the ford, but with a little more modern innards. Things like insert bearings, pressure oil in the right places. I hope this isn't a stupid question . Just trying to find the specs on the jeep , and It may run at a higher rpm to develop the 60 hp that it claims to have.

Edson" Subject: Pietenpol-List: back in the air After a tail wheel malfunction and a ground loop that damaged a wing we are air born again.The piete (NX53WE) went off the edge of the runway and this airport has a two foot drop at the edge of the of the runway so the wing struck the ground and broke both spars. All is new and it flew perfect. The tail wheel works great now and we are at a different airport. The 0 200 sat for over a year and started on the third stroke. It only has six hours on a major. It cruises at 80 at 2300 rpm and stalls at 28. We made the long fuselage and added 4 inches to the nose and made it 2 inches wider.Wood gear and 21 inch wheels. Three piece wing with 19 gallon tank. Flies great. Bob Edson (Branson Mo) -- Robert S.
