If someone does buy it I suggest taking the engine off and replacing it with a Rotax. The 440's are known for breaking crankshafts. I have had one break while flying behind a 440. The crankshaft breaks at the flywheel and locks the engine up. The only cure is to not use that engine. My three cents, but worth a $1,000.00 -------- 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=450945#450945 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:38:38 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: I need William Wynne's W & B data From: "Charles N.

Doc Mosher and William Wynne have compiled it all into one bundle which is now available through Doc Mosher's website. The problem that I encountered was when I emailed the website but received no reply. This made me wonder whether the W & B data was still available. However , several people have said that it is available so I will go ahead and mail a cheque !

I was doing all the test flying on a friends new Ultra-Pitts he had just finished building. Just as I got to the 8 hour mark on the engine and airframe, the crank broke. My friend was not a pilot yet so I was working on all the airspeed recommendations for the plane and documenting said numbers so he had something to reference when he finally got to fly it. The day the engine broke I happened to be doing pattern work at a local dirt strip. Working on best climb and approach speeds, etc. About 8 feet over the runway I decided to add power and go around (no need at that point to touch down) I added power to go around and then the prop came to an abrupt stop. I still had runway under me, so the landing was uneventful. I coasted up to the base of a tree, tied it down then called for a ride back to my home airport. The owner put a Hirth engine in the plane and it has never given him or I another problem since. The airplane has many good fun flying hours on it now. I try to learn from others since I don't have enough time to do it all myself. This is why I share.
