Anyphotos of antenna mounting would be appreciated.Thanks.--------Harv, 485PBRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Willys 134L can be added to the list

For anyone interested, the Jeepenpol has flown! Only a short take off and 10minute flight followed by a decent landing, but a personal milestone for me. In about 20 days it will be three years since I cut the first wood for the rudder. I had thought I could do it in two years but life has a way of changingour plans. I know there had been previous discussions about the possibilityof using the jeep engine, both pro and con, probably more con than pro. I don't know if proves much except it will fly. When the wind conditions arebetter I will do more testing and tweaking . Hopefully I will have a videoavailable later and I will try to post a picture that a friend took. Thewindy morning made the flight and un-known traits just a little nerve wracking,but it did quiet well with very little trim issues. It did seem under-powereduntil I started to land, then it didn't seem to want to stop flying, somaybe I didn't have the feel for the plane,(and the airspeed ind, wasn't rightshowing 20 mph) More laterRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_ ... __________

Jack, could it be #12-24 or #12-28 thread (major diameter .215 - .208")? It'snot so common anymore, but it seems to fit your measurements.Jim P.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Willys 134L can be added to the list
