Subject: Pietenpol-List: Long time reader, first time writer Hello everyone, I need help. I would like to start building a Piet but am having trouble deciding on an engine (suprise). Model A has big time classic look appeal notso much perf and forward vis (correct me if I'm wrong). Corvair has more powerbetter forward vis not so much classic appeal (solely my opinion). If anyone has good numbers on both I would appreciate seeing them as far as weight cost range speed etc. Does the Corvair version use the extended fuse? Do you stillrun an alternator with the Corvair. Money is definitely an issue but would likea good running toy with max classic appeal. I'm not trying to stir up a debatejust looking for info so you can e-mail me direct to keep from plugging up thelist if you'd like. Thanks.Bill ________________________________________________________________________________
