Has anyone used a pneumatic brad nailer on the fuse and wing gussets?Seems like there are different schools of thought on whether to remove the bradsafter gluing or even use them at all.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Mits engine pictures

This is my attempt at a alternative to the Model "A" I love the sound and looksof the "A", i just wanted something with modern bearings and a good oiling system.The engine i chose is actually an industrial engine from a forklift. itis built very robust having a forged nitrated crank right from the factory. Thecontraption out front is my anti crank snapping device.....the unit holds timkenbearing to take up all of the propeller loads and rubber isolators to separatethe torsional loads from the crank. I t also incorporates a starter ring.The engine comes in at 265 lbs without fluids including the prop housing, andput out 64 hp at 2400 without rebuild. Ordering a 76 x 42 prop this week. Thenext phase is to mount it on the plane and ground test with the prop.Thanks for your interest Chris Ruschsilvius(at)gwi.net wrote:> What exactly are we looking at? more info please...> > what is the engine? what is the redrive? most interesting> > Michael in Maine> > > > ---Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Mits engine pictures

If the compression ratio is 6: & 28 degree BTDC,you should turn 2000 static. Nice,use std, wing location, unless your 130 Lbs.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
