Subject: Pietenpol-List: pleasant times with Axel and It girlLast week, I spent a lovely Saturday supper with Axel and the "IT" Girl. She isan awesome cook. She also is a very good furniture maker. Funny to hear themdescribe arguments over who is using what woodworking tools in their Garage/woodworkingshop. Great conversations with a lot of lies being told. But truth be told I really wanteda flight in his Piet. Too bad it is down due to a burned valve. Thanks for your hospitality. Steve "That may not be the way it happened!

Wasn't that the engine that John Dilatush put in "Mountain Piet"? The onethat had a total power failure?

Close, but not an EA81. The engine in Mountain Piet is a turbocharged EA82.He had two engine failures, both caused by an unsecured air connection on the intake manifold.Greg Cardinal----- Original Message -----

At the risk of muddying the waters and stirring the pot with my cloudy memory=2C I'll interject a comment about the last engine failure that John Dilatush had in "Mountain Piet". I thought he told me that he overboosted the engine and that's what led to the failure. I thought he said that he had the engine set up with completely manual control of turbo boost and on takeoff when a lot of things are going on=2C it spooled up and overboosted before he could back off the manifold pressure.John is a skilled pilot=2C talented builder=2C and an engineer (if memory serves). He preferred to have pilot control of turbo boost rather than a fixed waste-gate arrangement=2C and that's the builder's decision. My two cents' worth=2C and maybe not even worth that.There are still pictures of "Mountain Piet" on my website=2C including engine pix=2C here: http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/John_piet.htmlOscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"Flying Squirrel N2069Z "Rocket"Medford/Ashland=2C ORwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: any subaru ea 81 piets?
