Pietenpol-List: Update on the "A"
Original Posted By: helspersew(at)aol.com
I guess I don't understand something=2C Dan. The original crankshaft gear and its mating (composite) cam gear are helical gears. All of the after market gears I have ever seen=2C be they aluminum or bronze=2C are helical as well. I am not sure what your photo is showing=2C but it is clearly a straight gear. Does your magneto drive modification change the crankshaft gear as well=2C so that all of the gears are straight gears?? The only other thing I can tell from your photo is that the magneto gear was only partially engaging the drive gear=2C it appears to be less than half=2C which may be the sum of your problem=2C but I still don't get what gear you are showing.BTW=2C you never did call=2C please give me a call when you get a chance=2C 202-674-1445.GeneSubject: Pietenpol-List: Update on the "A"Date: Sat=2C 9 Oct 2010 07:50:23 -0400

Hello gentlemen. I have been a lurker here for years. Though I have occasionallythought to add a comment or idea, mostly there is no reason to do it. My Piet qualifications are that I was the first person to fly with Lowellafter he hung the Warner on his airplane. Plus, I was caretaker for an unfinishedA-Model Piet for a few years on which I did little. That airplane is nowunder the care and feeding of Don Lane who does show up once in a while here.I expect it will take to the air soon. Those in Eastern NC might keep theirears peeled. I expect there will be another one in my life, though not for awhile. The impetus for this post is to say the recent series on Piet flying qualitieswas one of the most elucidating set of posts yet, with cogent weigh-ins frommany. Well done. The second reason is to suggest to Dan that his current revelations are agift. Carry on with vigor.

DanYou are dealing with a very tough engine, it can take a huge amount of abuse, hightemperatures, low oil lubrication, etc. I ran a Ford A with a turbo once andwhen it turned close to 3000 I said WHY ? that will never stand up.All witha 76 X 42. After 2 years it was sold and still running.Keep your dedication Dan, You have a lot of Bernie Pietenpol IN YOU.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 09:33:49 -0500
