The Pietenpol I bought at the garage sale has a constructed fuselage. Idon't have the plans so I need to ask the following question.Is the fuselage built for a particular engine or are the different engineshandled through the construction of the motor mounts? From discussions Ihave glanced at (I never expected to be a Piet builder) I would guess thelatter. True? I want to put a Continental on it.Thanks, Ted________________________________________________________________________________

Clear as mud, I know. I used the short fuse (1933 ImprovedAir Camper) and built the Continental motor mount as purchased from DonaldPietenpol but made it one inch longer. If you build the long fuse your enginewill naturally be out several inches forward due to the extra 2" length you getinboth the front and rear cockpits. The long fuse (1966) was designed, as Iunderstandit, to handle the lighter air-cooled engines. Either fuse will work with aContintenal,but you might have to slant/tilt your wing back further on a short fuse Pietthan along fuse Piet. This beats adding lead weight to your motor mount as some haveneeded to do in a pinch.

The latter is true...actually, there is only one style of attach fitting on the fuselage. The steel engine mount is the difference.Steve________________________________________________________________________________
