Pietenpol-List: Lambert / Warner Piets

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "FritzW"
What you MAY have there is a good core and probably not worth much more than coreprice (maybe $200 US +/-). Essentially, you'll have to completely disassemblethe engine to make sure you have a usable crank, heads and block and thenstart over completely rebuilding to aircraft standards. William Wynne's sitehas the part numbers for the usable stuff and if any of the major components aren'ton the "list", then the value drops significantly. The stuff like generator,starter, shrouding, and so on may have value. The prop hub and engine mountare really questionable and likely not usable. See previous replies for specifics on individual components.DaveRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Lambert / Warner Piets

Hi All,Just checking in with the group. Last Saturday me and a couple of friends werehalf joking about building 3 Pietenpols. We have access to 2 90hp Lamberts anda Warner. The idea is still in the "Hangar B.S.ing" stage and all of us have airplane projectsto finish first, but I started looking around the internet this morningto see what was happening in the Pietenpol world. I'm encouraged by how much Pietenpolinfo is out there!I just ordered a set of Air Camper and Sky Scout plans. I'll wait until they showup before I start asking a bunch of new guy questions.

I got a ride in the Aircamper that Dick Weeden powered with a Lambert (I thinkit was a Lambert). That was a very sweet ride! I think it is the best combinationof power, nostalgia, and reliability (?) there is for the Piet. The ModelA is the prototypical Piet engine, but that moderate-sized radial was just whatthe airframe needed.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Lambert / Warner PietsDear FritzW, It is the least I could do. Actually you should build theplanes, mount the engines and cover the planes and then deliver them. Orbetter yet, for a small fee I will come and fly them to my hangar. Don'tpaint them, I would not want you to waste your time, besides I like topersonalize my planes. LOLWelcome to the list. Laugh, be thick skinned and learn, no matter what youdecide to build. There are some smart people on this list (me not included)Those radials would look great on a Piet and should provide goodperformance.Blue Skies,Steve DOn Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 7:30 PM, FritzW wrote:>>> steven.d.dortch(at)gmail. wrote:> > ...I will dispose of them for you.>>> steven.d.dortch(at)gmail. wrote:> > ...I am doing this for your protection.>>> Not a lot of people would be willing to make that sacrifice, your a real> stand up guy.

I hope to get them by Friday.I've been lusting over the Piet's for a long time (3 or 4 decades) but other airplanesalways seem to move to the front burner. ...I can really see me in a Lambert powered Sky Scout piddling around the patch :)--------Isous Christos, Theou Yios, StrRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Good idea Dan!Since I get the digest version, when I reply, it DOES list all messages; inthis case 13, so to take pity on you guys I have to delete them all, but itprobably makes reading easier on your end.Douwe________________________________ Message 2_____________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: new threads

Douwe,With all due respect - when a New Topic is created rather than a Reply in an existingthread, the reader is left scratching his head, wondering what the H***,or how the H***, this New Topic means.So, reading, and then, re-reading ALL of the current threads, one will go backand realize that the New Topic is actually a Reply to the last post of an existingthread.In those cases where we have LOTS of interesting threads popping up, it might take10 to 15 minutes to figure out how the New Topic (which is actually a REPLY),fits into the overall scheme of things.So, please hit Post Reply, rather than New Topic, as this makes reading the entirethread MUCH EASIER.And, BTW, if you just bookmark the site, and create a Tab for it, you can dropthe digest altogether...--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Lambert / Warner Piets

I think that that is Dick Weeden's Piet, and I'm pretty sure that's a Lambert radial,but I could easily be wrong.Catdesigns wrote:> I forget what engine this Piet has.
