    Subject: Re: model A engine
    From: "bender" <dude@twc.com>
    So my plan is to Hone out the cylinders.. .005 doesn't seem too big to most of the folks I've talked to, then run it a lot on the ground. I did just buy an A65 and did some calculations. It look like the engine mount for the 65 would work out with W&B at about 16 inches long and I would save a ton of weight. My engine with water and oil ready to fly is 265 lbs . My plane weighs in at 662 lbs empty including oil and water and with a continental would be around 612 if I figured right. Man I love the A it just looks and sounds right. I'm not giving up yet but hope that if the 65 is sitting in the corner the A will work this time..

    Man Jeff, 662 lbs. is very light for an A-powered Piet. Mine is 717. Rambo 's is 717. Get the A-65 and put it in the corner.....make sure it is facing the action so it can see everything....run the hell out of the A on the gr ound and then go fly. See what happens. Stay over the runway for awhile. Af ter all, you are an experienced glider pilot :O) Dan Helsper Puryear (pronounced with three full syllables.....PER'-EE-ER) TN. -----Original Message----- From: bender <dude@twc.com> Sent: Wed, Jun 25, 2014 4:33 pm Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: model A engine So my plan is to Hone out the cylinders.. .005 doesn't seem too big to most of the folks I've talked to, then run it a lot on the ground.

    Pieters=3B We are trying to wrap up the "all Piet" issue of Contact! Magazine in time for Brodhead and AirVenture this year=85 the 85th anniversary of the Air Ca mper design. Someone had come up with a listing of all the different types of engines that have been used on this airplane and had posted it to the l ist=2C but I can't seem to find it. If someone could please either re-post it here or email it to me off-list=2C I would appreciate it. Thanks=2C and here's to more low 'n' slow flying this summer!

    Oscar, Here is the list that I came up with when we did the posting several months ago. I have 45 different engines on the list that are pretty well confirmed. If anyone can lend anymore information that will make the list more accurate, I would appreciate it. I am very interested in finding which Toyota engines were used on those two Piets in New Zealand, and I know that some guys in Russia built a Piet that flew ( I saw a video on you tube, I think). I am curious what engine they used. *Pietenpol Engines* Continental 50 hp A-65 C-65 A-75 A-80 C-85 C-90 O-200 Twin 65 hp Continental Industrial Engine Lycoming 50 hp O-145 65 hp O-235 GPU Franklin 50 hp 65 hp 90 hp Ford Model A Model B Flat head V-8 Escort engine Cortina engine Fiesta engine Funk 200 standard 200 inverted Wilksch Airmotive WAM-100 diesel Warner radial 145 hp LeBlond radial Salmson radial Kinner radial Velie radial Rotec radial Lambert radial Mikron Rotax 912S Chevrolet 2.5L (Iron Duke) Buick V-8 Corvair Toyota (I don't remember which one, but there was a pic a few months ago of two Piets in New Zealand who were powered by Toyotas) Toyota 2C Turbo Diesel Subaru Turbo Subaru Geo/Suzuki 2300 cc Mercedes Diesel Mitsubishi *Soon to be* BMW K100 motorcycle engine *Used on Pietenpol Scout* Model T Chevrolet Vega (Was there a successful Volkswagen? Was a Vega engine ever used on an aircamper?) Unconfirmed: Dodge 4 cyl. Inline Ford Falcon inverted straight six
