I did it just as Chuck C. & Gary described. Thanks,Chuck> > > Chuck,> When you soak the cap strips did you start out with warm or hot water? I have read so many things, I was thinking if I just let them soak over-night in tap water that would suffice. I was going to take some left over six inch pvc pipe, stand it upright, and fill with water about three feet up. Does the bottom strip need to be bent at all?> Thanks for the advice.> Joe Swithin> Morris, IL just getting started. doing ribs first.> > > ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Has anyone done a Piet with a CAM 100 engine?

For historical information, I defer to those with more seniority in the Pietenpolmovement but if you are considering late model 4 cylinder car engine conversions,there are several choices. Jan Eggenfelner has been doing a truly fine job of converting Subaru engines foraircraft use and his firewall forward packages for RV's is extremely well engineeredand executed. Last year at Oshkosh, he was showing similar package basedon the Honda Fit engine. Unlike a number of other people that have triedto do auto engine adaptations (several Mazda rotary and Subaru proponents, nowvanished, come to mind), Jan has stayed with it and actually series producedsome quality products. The engine information is at vikingaircraftengines.comI have no personal knowledge of the CAM 100 engine but have seen them for a relativelylong period of time at Oshkosh so they are probably in the game for thelong haul also. Might be a worthy FWF package.DaveRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Isn't the CAM 100 certificated to be a replacement for the O-200 in Cessna 150and such aircraft?...If so, why not use it (if cost is not prohibitive).--------Low & Slow is My Way!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I believe the Honda Prelude engine (single cam) is correct.The Viking mentioned above is an interesting choice but is not for the financiallyfaint of heart. Dimensionally it is about five inches shorter than the CAM100 but makes up for it by being a 4 inches wider package.And, at $13,000 and twice the cost of the CAM package, the Rotec R2800 would seema very attractive alternative.As mentioned, the CAM folks have been around since the early 90's and have botha 100 and 120 hp package at a very reasonable price.Still ... a Ford looks more original, eh?--------Perry ShipmanLakeside, CARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

It's a 100 hp Honda conversion, engine originally from a Civic or Accord, I believe. I think the company is based somewhere out West, I did not know they were still in business.Kip GardnerOn Jan 30, 2011, at 7:28 PM, Charles Campbell wrote:> >>> My only thought is, "What's a CAM 100?">
