Lowell Durham of Milaca, Mn built and flew this Pietenpol a number of years ago. It sat in a barn for 9 years until purchased earlier this year by Bob Poore. Bob got it back in flying condition as you can see in the attached picture.Will we see it a Brodhead this year Bob?Greg C.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2010 20:25:56 -0800 (GMT-08:00)

Congratulations Chris on completing this project, and beautiful work!!Since your plane isn't ready to fly yet, can you get a hold of a couple ofprops to bolt use so we can see what she can really do? I'd love to see howshe'd spin up something like a 76X42 as a baseline.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Mitsubishi Engine ready to get installed...

it would need a dry sump oiling system and a return line in the valve cover.......iam not sure how good the cooling would work. I never could figure out howthey kept oil out of the cylinders with inverted systems, i would think hydrauliclocking would be a problem while the engine sits for awhile.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: mitsubishi engine

Inverting a Ford B is very simple, Check out the Funk Akron 200 Engine. If anyoneis interested check out the Pietenpol that I flew to Oshkosh in 1988 and JoBethBarret flew to Oshkosh in 1999.Oil is kept out of the cylinders by a 1 " high S.S. ring bolted to the cylinderopening by 2 each, 10-32 screws.After the Funk engine sat in storage for 5 years, I pulled it out and with goodgas and a few blades to check for lock,It started 2Nd blade. With a little smokeit cleared very soon.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Another Piet back in the air
