Subject: Pietenpol-List: Phase I Completed.Pieters,about a fridgid digit, he was one. They are forcasting snow flurries here tonight. I think he was up there looking for some. Ole 41CC now has logged 25:06 minutes of trouble free time. Tomorrow we are changing props from a metal McCaully 71 48 to a Flotrop wood 74 50. Does anyone have a torque figure for tightening prop bolts on wooden props? We think the climb and cruise will improve on the A-65.Corky in La with the heat ON________________________________________________________________________________

Note that if your use a torque wrench the specs arein INCH/pounds and depends on the bolt diameter.Cy Galley, TC - Chair, Emergency Aircraft Repair, OshkoshEditor, EAA Safety Programscgalley(at)qcbc.org or experimenter(at)eaa.orgAlways looking for articles for the Experimenter----- Original Message -----
