thanks for the reply Mike. I'm planning on building it as light aspossible. I do plan on an electrical system, mainly because I wantlights..... it's amazing how much more $$ I have to spend and work I have todo just by adding electric. But in the end I think it'll be satifyingtaking a late summer night cruise out here over the phoenix area.I plan on using a C85 or 90. Will check out the W&B issues when I'm readyto hang the motor. Thanks for the tip.Tonight I build wing rib #10. woohoo!DJ VeghMesa, AZGN-1 Builderwww.raptoronline.comN74DV________________________________________________________________________________

yep! thats whay I say as soon as I made the jump to electric cost goes upquite a bit. I've already got an altimeter and luckily it's an encodingaltimeter.... no need for an encoder. anything to save weight huh?!DJ VeghMesa, AZGN-1 Builderwww.raptoronline.comN74DV-----Original Message-----

Don't congratulate your self too soon. If your encoder quits in yourencoding altimeter you will...1. Lose you altimeter and ability to fly until you have your instrumentrepaired and re-installed.2. Bigger bill to repair3. Frequent repairs as the encoding altimeter is not as reliable nor ruggedas the separate encoder and altimeter.4. The encoder altimeter IS heavier than a plain altimeter.The separate encoder generally doesn't take any panel space as it can bemounted out of the way.Cy Galley - Bellanca Champion ClubNewsletter Editor & EAA TCwww.bellanca-championclub.comWe also support Aeroncas----- Original Message -----

I find them by 'word of mouth'. They are easy to find around here. I have recently acquired the equipment ability to pour and align bore the babbitt. There are two other good rebuilders here also. The model A is pretty impressive to actually fly behind. Hope you pay a visit to the planes here in Wichita and to our fly-in at Benton in the fall. The planes are at Benton.

good points. although I'm not sure about the ruggedness/reliablilityissue. The encoding altimeter we had in the Cessna 441 worked for over 15years and at least 4000 hrs. and never a failure.yeah it's heavier than a non-encoding altimeter but only by about 3 oz.there's still a net loss in weight over using a separate encoder albeit avery very small amount... but just enough for me to eat an extra servingof french fires before flying.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: What are sources for Ford Model A enginesHi Bret & RobinCheck the internet for the National Model A clubs and get the info on chapters near where you live...there are plenty of engines out there. You might also want to check with Snyder's, Bratton's and other antique Ford parts houses and get in touch with the guys they use to rebuild Model A engines. You'll find them all in the 'A' section of Hemmings Motor News at your local bookstore or library. Sorry, I'm not near my address information at this time to give it to you. Hope to see you join the ranks of the 'A' lovers. Don & Clara Hicks________________________________________________________________________________
