Pietenpol-List: A65 on eBay

Not sure what this is, but it's NOT a typical A65-8. Listed as an A65-1.Note the exhaust ports coming out of the tops of the cylinder heads, and thespark plugs relatively far down the cylinder head, and going in at rightangles to the cylinder bore. Also, max RPM is listed as 2850, rather thanthe 2350 of an A65-8. Of course, with only a 54" diameter on the prop, 2850RPM might be possible, for a while.

I suspect the 2850 is either a typo, or mis-reading of the data plate.>From the following (page 5) the A-65-1 is rated at 65HP at 2350 RPM.http://www.aeronca.com/manuals/Continen ... ok.pdfBill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

That may have "-1" on the data plate, but it looks like it has been converted intoa "-3". The "-1" is only single ignition. Continental built this up until1939. There are very few of the actual "-1"'s because they had just come outwith the 65hp that year and the feds came out with the requirement for dualignition. I think some time in June of that year. So there was only a coupleof months, i think, that the A65-1 was built. They then went to the "-3". The"-3" is the same as the "-8" only it has up exhaust. This one has been convertedinto the dual ignition "-3". Aeronca was the one that used this the most.The prewar Chiefs used them. A couple of the other manufacturers used themfor a short time too.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: A few pics of today's cold flight
