Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead photosAt the risk of preaching to the choir........The most conspicuous external difference between a Lawrence Twin (used on the Penguin trainer) and the engineused in the C-2 is that the cylinders in the lawrence engine share a common centerline. That's why, when one offsets the rods and fabricates a two-journalcrank, it can become a low vibration engine....Carl Vought________________________________________________________________________________

The Aeronca E-107-A and E-113A,B&C all had enclosed valve action and thecrankcase fairedinto the backside of the prop hub. It is also a fair amount smaller then theLawrence engines.The early engines that were Morehouse and Poole/Galloway engines and lookeda lot like a smallLawrence engine. I don't think any production Aeronca's flew with theseengines.The conversion of the Lawrence engine is covered in the Flying and GliderManuals. The first one that Ihad ever seen was at Brodhead, really neat old engine, puts out quite a barktoo. Didn't know thatthey put them on the Penguin's as I've only seen the one in the F & GManuals with the single cylinderengine. Keep thinking about building a Penguin but it would have to be in mynext lifetime as this one isfull up with "want to" projectsAl Latham----- Original Message -----

Andrew;I noticed on the beautifully-fabricated set of split-stylelanding gearlegs that I boughtfrom Arlene Walsh's estate (off the Aerial biplane) thatthe attach bolt holes were drilled after the legs were fittedup and that no two of them go straight through the center ofthe fitting.- Apparently there are just too many things tokeep lined up by jigging.- However, the legs on 41CC weremade in the conventional way, using Bill Rewey's jig method,and they slide on fairly easily and are not forced or sprunginto place so there must be a way to do it successfully.Maybe you can put a pin and lever on the end of the leg andtweak the fittings into alignment, or are they so far outthat they can't be tweaked a bit?- It sure would be a shameto have to scrap them and start over.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.netle, List Admin.=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Brodhead photos

My brother is a really good photographer and took a few photos at Brodhead. Take a look. If you're into landscape photos=2C browse around the rest of his site - he's got some great stuff.http://public.fotki.com/dwbrant/fancies ... __________

It looks like it may be a little tricky putting the six prop bolts through thefour hole in the prop flange. Maybe those zig-zaggy bolts would work.

Great. Thanks. I was hoping to get there to take a close look at a Fordinstallation but did not make it. Is there someone with a Ford engineinstallation near Southern Ontario? Or I suppose could fly a littlefurther to see one. I will be in Minneapolis later this month if thereis one in that area.Bob-----Original Message-----
