Subject: Pietenpol-List: ReplicraftAnyone using Replicraft should be aware that he uses the 1929 plans. Ibought a set of eng. mounts for the Ford A and just like everything elseon the Piet plans, they are built wrong. Not the fault of Steve atReplicraft, He was just building to the plans. The 29 plans show a 2 1/2in. drop in the motor mount. The 33 plans show 1 in. drop. The 1 indrop comes out to about 2 1/2 degree. I think someone got there unit ofmeasurements mixed up. If you drop the Ford 2 1/2 in at the nose alongwith a 72" prop, you are looking at a prop strike. None of the picturesof early Piet's appear to have more engine drop than later built Piets.Leon S. looking at a box of "to the plans" left over parts.________________________________________________________________________________
