Pietenpol-List: Continental GPU engines

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Moe-Home"
Does anyone know the nomenclature for Continental's GPU version of the C-85or O-200? I'm trying to find a Military surplus GPU engine, but the GPUversion has a different model no./name.I've been looking for the past few days and have come across nothing. I'vefound several places that sell Continental engines, but none of them know ifthey are C-85/O-200 clones.DJ________________________________________________________________________________

Pietenpol-List: Leading Edge

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Leading EdgePieters,Received my quarterly BPA Newsletter and wish to compliment the editors for a informative edition. Earlier in my building process I was concerned about the underside of the leading edge as to its surface strength. I posted this several times on this net only to be assured that it was not necessary to provide any underneath support on the leading edge. I accepted this as fact and built on. Today after examination of the Pietenpol on the front page of the BPA Newsletter I seem to see the leading edge undersurface. Are my eyes getting bad or what?Anyone care to comment on this?Corky in La with naked underside leading edges.________________________________________________________________________________
