Oscar looks like you fixed the thing with the extra C's alright.I was consideringwhether to do anything with the thrust on my mount-of course if your's is fora real Piet it would no doubt be different in fit than a GN-1 anyway.I knowD.J. said he added some angle of attack to the wing if I remember right so maybethat will allow it to fly more level and the engine also will be good likehe built it.but anyway-just doing some brain-storming.thanks.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Parts List

The true horsepower of all Lycomings and Continentalsis 20% less than rated right from the factory and it getsless as the engine wears.The A weighs 244 lb dry. Add water, radiator and hoses.Now it weighs 260 or more, about the same as the O-290I've got.The larger engine isn't there to give you more speed, that'sdictated by the airframe. It's there to get you off theground sooner. There will be times that's a good thing.Remember the list of useless things in aviation.Add to that the horsepower you don't have. :-)Just make sure you understand the tradeoffs.Clif, workin on firewall and engine mount.----- Original Message -----

Mark,Hope I caught you in time, just saw your post today.Here's a copy of the itemized quote from AS&S ( at 1998 prices.)They said they based it on the last sheet from a private builder. The list was right on for me. I built long fuselage three piece wingThe one list from the builder has hand written notes by me to figure out what everything was when I inventoried it all.walt evansNX140DL----- Original Message -----

Darn... the image just isn't coming through. I got the first three on the originalpost, but "walt_112" does not display at all on either attempt. I'm assuming that there is important info on that particular page, so I would liketo see it. Any chance you can e-mail it to me directly?

Larry,Unless you've got a really long bed pickup, I think you'll need a rack ontop such as you would use to carry a canoe. The three piece wing spars are13 feet long each, and the longerons are over 16'. You'll need at least one4' x 8' sheet of plywood, probably more.Think about it - you'll be driving 24 hours round trip in a truck that willget maybe 15 - 20 mpg. Gas alone will cost you $160 to $200 for the roundtrip. Unless you've got another reason to drive a truck to Atlanta, I'dseriously look into having a trucking company ship it. See if you can shoparound on rates - they are highly variable.Now, if you get a trucking company to ship it, you will have to go pick itup at their dock or pay a lot for them to deliver it to your door. It isworth if for you to pick it up at their dock, but I doubt if it's worth itto drive all the way from Dallas to Atlanta to save $150 in shippingcharges.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

With a pickup and a rack anything is possible.Where there is a will there is a way.Just remember any sarran wrap goes from back to front and not the other way.Admitedly my ride was only about 5 hrs with this rig.Michael in Maine----- Original Message -----

Yeah, I am hereby enlightened. That all makes sense to me. I guess it's betterto just wait out the delivery time and let the pro's (UPS Ground) do the shipping..Thanks for the input (reality check)..LarryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
