These "L" brackets are bent in such a way that when the strut is installed on the plane, the bracket tab will be vertical to attach to the jurys. There is also some notching of the streamline jury struts required to get them to fit one another. Perhaps if you call Carlson, they could email you a PDF of sorts of the manual so you will see how it all goes together.

(29' vs 25' for the Talon) The Pietenpol wing is 9 feet longer than the F-104's wingspan! Okay, bac k to your normally scheduled programming. Mike C.

I've got about 3000 hours in the T-38 - capable of supersonic. Maybe 100 times faster than the Piet. This would be Tim Taylor's idea of ' more power.' A delight to fly in its realm. I'm going to enjoy my Piet beca use of its own advantages.

Currently taking a second one apart and I'll bring those also. Would it be worth bringing any other parts? Not enough room for two engines, so just wondering if I should bother bringing the heads, cylinders, etc. Is there anything for the women to do? Do attendees buy tickets (register) for their wives?

I was only able to squeeze 1800 rpm's from the motor. After a lot of encouragement from here and my facebook friends to not give up, I made up a new propeller from dimensions suggested to me by William Wynne. He graciously answered my call to figure his best estimate as to a propeller that would work on this particular engine.. The resulting propeller is a 64x32 with the hefty style of a Hamilton Standard shape that I copied because I like that look. After testing the prop today I was seeing nearly 2400 static rpm and a world of air moving. It has given me enough encouragement to continue with my project to use the Jeep. In my opinion this engine if matched to the correct propeller and carburetor would be a good candidate for the Pietenpol aircamper . If this attachment doesn't work and you would like to see the engine run with the new propeller, Go to youtube and type Kenny Crider you will see the video jeep engine new prop test run.
