I would really like to try thisout but all I have been able to get so far for information has been reallygeneral. What sort of modifications does one need to make to the stock ModelA engine, how do you fit a prop hub, (what kind of prop seems to work best),how about motor mounts, etc. etc. ad nauseum.

The Model A engine doen't need vey much in the way of mods to power a Piet.It does however need to be in very good condition. It takes 33 HP to meetminimum Canadian Climb specs in a Piet. A Model A in good shape can produce40hp.I suggest you find the nearest Model A Ford Club of America chapter (checkout the BPA website) The stock Ford crank has a long rear main (which now is the front main) tocarry the heavy flywheel used in the Model A. The length is comparable to asmall continental. The output is a four bolt flange. The most logical wayI've seen to fit a prop fitted is by using an adapter machined to theLycoming or Continental six bolt circle. The advantage of this is that moreprops are available if you need one in a hurry. The other major changes areto the oiling system and ignition systems. The Flying and Gliding manualscover this in adaquate detail.If you need more engine specs feel free to contact me.John Mc-----Original Message-----

The 1932 Flying & Glider Manual available from the EAA (for under tenBucks) has all the info you need. If you Decide to build though Ireccomend Buying the full size Plans from the Pietenpol Family, they area lot easier to use. The Mods are all fairly easy. The Motor mount isvery basic but effective.Good luckJohn DupreyJKend81933(at)aol.com wrote:> > I've been checking out the discussion group and there's sure a lot of good> information here.

I haven't seen anyone mention the screen saver at Richard's site so Iwill put my two cents in. I have it on my machine and every time I seethat it has started I see all the beautiful work many of you havecreated. It constantly reminds me of my goal, as far off at that seems. If you haven't tried it I would recommend it. It is FREE to ANYONE andnicely put together. I hope this shameless recommendation for thescreen saver my father-in-law, Ron Gipson, created will get you to tryit. Really, it's very cool.:)Here it is.http://207.140.1.221/w3builder/piet/scr ... zipWARNING! 5.3 MB!!Brent Reed -----Original Message-----
