http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtNecdtPPSM I hope this url will lead you to my new video of my Jeep powered pietenpol. I am testing a new carburetor, and a new radiator set up in the front of the engine. I have mounted a Honda Goldwing radiator in front and it seems to be working ok. After warm up to max temp, the temp gauge showed 190 degrees at an idle. When I increased the rpm to about half throttle the temp decreased to 180 which seems to me a positive sign. As before my computer skills are pretty thin so if this link does not work,just go to Kenny crider and scroll down the list of videos to jeepenpol testrun.

When I went to work for Delta we were flying ship 201, the first DC9 in service(DC9-14), When I left 17 years later we were still flying it. Couple years laterit was sold to, I believe, Republic, then Atlanta. Don't know if it's stillaround. As all you Northworst guys know, Republic was later folded into Northwest.Geez, I must be getting old, remembering ancient history like that.--------Just east of GracelandRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Hi Jeff... yes I was disappointed in the new carburetor, I was 300 rpms short andabout 50 lbs less on the scales. It ran very smoothly and the radiator workedgreat, but I may have to keep searching for the right carb.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: The Jeep powered pietenpol, Testing a front mountedradiator

Good luck with the search and development. Dinking around with carbs is fun rightto the second that it's not. But when it's correct, smooth and maximum power,boy is it worth it.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Jeff,You are making great progress. How might the radiator work below the engine?

I just completed the load test of the latest batch of hinges and am happy to report that they have met or exceeded the strength of the earlier ones that Vi tested. The test sample that Vi sent me had broken at 700 lbs and mine was loaded to over 900 lbs and it never broke. For anyone who is interested, details of my load testing are at http://www.flysquirrel.net/loadtest.html .--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: The Jeep powered pietenpol, Testing a front mountedradiator
