Parting out a Pietenpol. From a previously flying airplane. I have the fuselageon the gear with the tail assemblies. I would recover it on general principlebut it's a way to cut your build time by about 1/2. If you're interestedreply to wyliejohnson45(at)gmail.com and I'll send pictures.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: lycoming 0235 C1B expertsOkay sports fans here's how it goes. I located an A&P who was willing to help teach supervise and mentor me in the tear down and overhaul of my engine. Just as i get ready to order parts he gives one of the female we need to talk phone messages, knowing nothing good ever comes out of conversations that begin that way I was skeptical to say the least. Following all the lawyer excuses it came down to the fact he wasn't comfortable doing what he had agreed to for legal reasons, again with the lawyers. Long and short he took a powder on me.Anyone have any good and reasonable suggestions or resources. I still want to learn the engine by building it but prefer that be done under the supervision of a trained and experienced person rather thn my working in a vacuum and hoping I did it right. This is not my first engine build just my first aircraft engine build.I have built enough to know they all have their little tricks and nuances that mean the difference between a solid reliable build and an accident waiting to happen. My preference is in the solid reliable trouble free build category unless there was any confusion as to my goal and preference. Any suggestions or resources you can suggest in helping me achieve my goal.Please adviseJohnNo reasonable offer refused Sent via DROID on Verizon Wireless________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: lycoming 0235 C1B experts

John,I'm about to tear down my C85 and my A&P/IA friend gave me a book to read first.It was extremely informative and even though it is geared more towards theLycomings, it's a great resource for any engine. It's the Sky Ranch EngineeringManual. There are several different sources for the book and AS&S has it forabout $23.As far as gaskets, seals, bearings,etc. www.airpowerinc.com seems to have the best prices I could find. If you find something better, please pass it along.I attached a sample from the book.Curt MerdanFlower Mound, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/engi ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: lycoming 0235 C1B experts

Chris,Is there a thrust bearing in your Al shaft adapter housing ? A great installation.Looks like it will do the job. Is it direct connected.Do I see a blunter leading edge on the wing profile ?, Or is it all Pietenpol ?Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 07:25:21 -0700 (GMT-07:00)
