I think that that is Dick Weeden's Piet, and I'm pretty sure that's a Lambert radial,
but I could easily be wrong.

Hi Jeff,
My first Piet ride was also in this plane with Dick Weeden 1992. It was built in
the 1980's by Dick, Ted Davis and Francis Saunders at Brodhead. The engine was
a LaBond. After the 2nd engine out, I think Ted Davis was the owner than, he
removed the engine. The plane was around Brodhead with different owners and
a Ford A for a while. I think Ted told me this summer he bought the plane back
and plans a small Continental, so he can fly it more than work on it.
It was beautiful with the LaBond.

Bill,
The photo you posted is from a fly in that I went to with Frank Pavliga last montgh.
You can see the tail of mine in the picture also. I told Frank at that
fly in that from now on I am no longer parking beside him... because when I do
HIS airplane gets all the attention! It is absolutely beautiful. The Lambert
puts out a very healthy 90 hp. I can't remember but the prop is huge. The
length is somewhere in the 80+ inches range. It is a fantastic combination.
Frank has been generous enough to let me fly it and it is a huge kick in the
pants. Before you get the throttle all the way in it is skipping and snorting
across the ground. The climb and cruise is terrific. Its makes for a great
Piet and the coolness factor is over the top. You just have to be ready to work
on them and keep them up... and have someone close by that is a true expert.
Recently, on a trip that we were both flying in, we had to pull a jug and replace/resurface
a head gasket overnight. So it comes at a price...

Subject: | Ford Engine weights |
Hi All,
Anyone know off the top of their head how much the Model A and a Model T conversions
weigh?
While I'm sitting around waiting for the mailman to bring my Air Camper and Sky
Scout plans, I'm trying to get an idea of potential CG issues with a Lambert.
...I'm also trying to ignore a thought that keeps buzzing around my head: a VERY
light (not ultralight) VW w/redrive powered Sky Scout. I'd hate to be the the
un-informed new guy with an impractical daydream so I'll keep it to myself [Wink]
Looking at the F&G manuals, it looks like there's the potential to shed a pound
or two off a Pietenpol.

Hi,
Just off the top of my head, a Model A will be around 235 pound or 110kg. A VW
conversion is very light in comparison. If i can believe greatplains, it will
be around 135pounds with a reduction drive, or 60kg. Whatever the case, this has
an impact on your W&B, with you ending up carrying dead weight (batteries)
or a very long nose. But then an engine choice is never easy, especially with
the Pietenpol.
