Are there plans to convert the Model A engine for aircraft use? The only thing I have is the plan sheet in the Pietenpol plans. I have a Model A engine that has been started, ut I would like to finish it and the plans are not that great for a non-engine mechanic.Thanks,Max________________________________________________________________________________

MaxAll I have are the sheets that came with the plans from Don Pietenpol. You have there Piet list here and there are other builders in your area who, I'm sure would like to chat and provide assistance. I havent run any numbers on Rotec installation with the short fuse. I was just going from eyeballing the approx cg on both engines.DickDick ----- Original Message -----

Dick,I was wondering if there are any conversion plans for the Model A other than the Pietenpol plans set and the builders manual. I don't have the builders manual, but think I will order it. The website says it has the Model A conversion instructions. I just need more than the single sheet that is in the Pietenpol plans.I have a Model A that has most of the work done. I just need to build the Mag tray and drive and a few other items. I just would like to get the Model A running even if I decide to go with the Rotec. I just like to tinker...even when I don't know what I'm doing!Take Care,Max ----- Original Message -----
