It is getting harder to find C85's as people don't seem to want to part with them. 0200's however are plentiful and a core is pretty affordable.. I got an 0200 and by simply changing the cam and a few other things, turned it into a C90. Wanting a shorter nose, I even left the gen and starter on it for weight and my CG is perfect. One could easily strip off the heavier stuff and probably not have to slant your wing back. The piet flies great with a C90. The downside is more fuel consumption, but chugging along at 2000rpm I burn maybe a gallon per hour more than a 65.

Building the frame of the fuselage is the step with the highest degree of "instant gratification" in the whole project. In a matter of just a few days, you go from a bundle of sticks to something that looks as though you're actually building an airplane. No need to beef up anything on the fuselage structure. It's plenty strong, as designed. Just follow the plans, and everything will be fine. Actually, on The Last Original, BHP used 7/8" x 1" longerons - with the 1" being the vertical dimension. Of course, it's only been flying for about 50 years, so time will tell whether it will hold up. Bill C.

I'm going to keep it a hand-prop, as that is what I am used to and really need the weight savings. I'll bet your plane can really climb.. Really like your plane- a pic of it hangs above my workbench. Jack & John- thanks for the reference. I have been talking to Don at Don's Dream Machines and he may end up doing my engine if I don't do it myself. He offered me a nice deal on an A-65 but I've decided C85 or larger.

I'm VERY interested and can think of 2 more Piet builders that would be interested as well.
