Subject: | 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. 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)

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!

Subject: | Re: engine listing |
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.

Great, Gary! If it is not too hot, please be my guest during the fly in. but you
will probably want to leave before it gets too hot.
Will love to see you.
