Did you notice he did not have it tied down and used only small chocks, AND itwas pointed INTO the hanger. Then he increased power enough to worry anotherbystander to come over and perhaps hold on to it. Theres many tales of run-a-wayplanes. Take care all.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: video of a VW powered Pietenpol ground run

Pietenpol-List: Re: flight planning kneeboard charts

After having rebuilt several hundred VW engines while putting myself thru engineeringschool, I have a few observations.The engine is identified as a 2000cc VW on the video banner, which implies it'sa modified Type I, or 1600 cc with a big bore kit. Whoever built the engineused single port cylinder heads rather than the later dual port heads. For bothtorque and horsepower, this was unfortunate, as the engine just cant breatheas it would with dual port heads.The latest 1600 engines had an enlarged exhaust valve stem and a slightly improvedport. These combined to improve reliability - paramount in an aircraft engine- be eliminating the dropped valve experience (broken exhaust valve, crashingpiston and your day....).Mike: where did you find it, and can you determine what became of it?--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: flight planning kneeboard charts
