| Subject: | Model A engine For Sale |
My firewall forward, ready to fly Model A is for sale. Bolt it onto a "standard"
plans built Pietenpol fuse and fly now. 76-44 wood prop, I still have the shipping
box the prop came in. WICO mag. Firewall forward with a few extra parts.
The engine was flown for about 110 hours by Tom Lester in Knoxville about 10
years ago. He traded it for an A65 or 85 and I bought it. This is NOT a pretty
show engine. It was built by a Model A "expert" somewhere in Michigan (I think)
to Pietenpol plans specs. I would not hesitate to fly behind it. It is NOT
"souped up", NOT high performance.
Video (hope Mark doesn't mind me sharing this link!):

I start/run it every year or so. Runs fine, this is a good strong engine. Personal
message me for a PDF (LARGE FILE!) with lots of pics. $2500

I will tell you that the cable with swagged end will not work as a safety stop.
The cable will pull through the copper swag on a hard landing if the bungee brakes.
You need to have a positive sheet metal stop. Look at how a Curtiss Jenny
landing gear is designed. BP just copied it.

John,
I'll be interested to hear what your process is. Especially, "Joining the tail."
I just finished building a "mockup" of the long Corvair fuse and found the tail
joining process, or rather the beveling of the longerons and struts, to be
devilishly difficult. I obviously didn't do it properly and in the correct sequence
so I'm interested to hear how you go about it.
