Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pietenpol-List Digest: 3 Msgs - 11/18/00I would like to know where to go to get specifications of a Continental PE/90 engine. This engine came from a GPU. It has only a single sparkplug per cylinder. I am considering this engine for the Pietenpol that I'm building.What I would like to know is weight of engine without the flywheel. What is the bore, stroke, etc., that would help determine the size of propellor the engine can handle?Any comments on the suitability of this engine for my intended purpose?Thanks, Allan________________________________________________________________________________

As far as I know, it is just like a glider - you have to attest that youhave no medical defects which would affect your piloting, but do not need aphysical.----- Original Message -----

You don't need a license or a medical to fly ultra lights.I truly advise taking training in whatever you are going tofly as they don't handle quite like a GA aircraft. take off and landing is a lot different than what you might be use to.The team minimaxes and fisher aircraft are probably the closesthandling to regular aircraft. they are fun though and no annuals.Carl -----Original Message-----
