Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: CONTACT! Magazine, Pietenpol Issue/Don EmchI would contribute to your issue. What's really interesting to me and others maybe, is the radial Lambert engine I am assembbling for my Piet project. 90 HP , 5cyld antique. Have all parts plus spares. Expect to run this summer . Just the engine variations alone should fill your issue. brent Scott in Missouri**************Start the year off right.

How about those cast "Air Camper" valve covers for the Corvair? Any luck making some new molds?Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags@hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: CONTACT!

Jack,I don't doubt it was hard. Took aircraft sheet metal classes 28 yrs ago and learned to rivet and work with aluminum.. but haven't' done it since, and don't want to make things harder. I feel like a simple couple of windshields will suffice. Even thought about buying speed boat ones and using them, but they looked to modern. (www.greatlakesskipper.com) has a bunch, mounting hardware too. Have enough to do, need to learn how to do fabric work, then cover upper and lowerwings (biplane) and 4 ailerons. Need to get a 1950's Spanish engine running(found a 130meg electronic copy of its manuals) of course they are in Spanish,and I don't know it. Have to figure out how to make a graceful hood bump to cover the magneto's pokingup through my cowling. Finish plumbing the engine, fabricate two more exhauststacks. Cut and reroute some 4130 tubing so my legs will fit more comfortably.Make and install windshields. Assemble everything, figure out how to rig itand if I have all the stuff. (No notes, just bucket full of fittings and cables..)Starting to understand that 90% done/90% to go thing.JimRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 10:11:22 -0800 (PST)
