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!): https://youtu.be/ZAv-D1oaFj4 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 Jim Markle Pryor, OK Sent from my smartphone.

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.

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. -------- Vincent Dunn Salem Oregon vincentkdunn(at)yahoo.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=464979#464979 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:10:10 AM PST US From: helspersew@aol.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wood Landing GEAR Is this conclusion based on experience WF2?
