I flew with a Model A for two years & I flew EdSnyder's model A quite a bit. The radiator didn't seem to bother. I didn'tnotice any turbulence. If fact after I changed to an 0-200, the flightcharacteristics didn't change except for increased climb & airspeed.The Model A radiator sits below the center section & not in front of it.Mike B ( Piet N687MB )________________________________________________________________________________

Pietenpol-List: radiator
Original Posted By: "Michael Conkling"
Gang-Does anyone (Doug) have or know of a radiator that is available for an "A" Piet?My engine seems to be running hot and all I can come up with is that my VW/Audiradiator isn't up to the task. It was the recommended radiator in the 70'sBPANews but I am not having good results with it.I know there was a Kapler radiator for sale at B'head last year or the year before,does anyone remember whose it was?Barring the above, does anyone know of a radiator building shop that is quick andreasonable (read:cheap!)?Still logging the hours and fixing little bugs. Looks like my time will be flownoff at the exact moment that I head for Brodhead. Amazing how that works...Larry________________________________________________________________________________

It was John Greenlee who had it done originally, and I think they have done several others since, including mine. If someone can identify who posted the inquiry, I'll go through my records and post the details. I seem to recall it was Bell Mfg.

Oh my gosh Larry. A VW/Audi radiator? That is probably the problem. Itknew it wasn't an "authentic" Pietenpol and got all flustered. Good luck on flying off that time. Great isn't it?Ted BrousseauNaples, FL----- Original Message -----
