If you missed the Conn Rod Bolts last year, and want the security of knowing theones you're building that $4000. engine with are going to hold together, youmight be interested. I'm bringing more to Brodhead this week. These are Sealed packages of 10 NOS (New Old Stock) Conn Rod Bolts, ContinentalP/N 530213. Will fit ALL A Series, C Series, O-200, O-300, and several more small Continentalengines.Shoot me an email and I'll make sure I bring enough. These are over $17.70 EACH from ACS,, but the 10 pce bag is only $100. to PietBuilders. Savings to you $41.+ and you get 2 extra bolts.--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/conn ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Gene's boat anchor

I'm wondering if we're being snookered with all this talk of Gene switching engines...I won't be one bit surprised if that gorgeous Piet I just saw in the newslettercomes "pockita-pocketing" over the horizon later this week .02$DouweSent from my iPhone________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Gene's boat anchor

It's a little unnerving alright. BUT...How are youattaching the strut ends? Hmmmm? Withbolts drilled through holes in the tube. Right? Yes.So, what's the difference between holesnear the ends and a hole in the middle?Just location for the purpose of changingone long column into two short ones.Oh, and just for the record I'm not advocatingthat hole be in the exact center. As noted anumber of times this connection must bemade off center to limit destructive harmonicvibration. Clif Interesting, I have seen several Piets with jury struts bolted through the flying struts but I didn't have the nerve to drill holes in mine (doesn't mean that there is any problem doing it that way). rh I was very surprised to see that the kit uses 2, 3/16" bolts through each wing strut for the jury attachment with an insert to prevent crushing.

Gene and I have had a couple of conversations about boat anchors and glider rides.I have an A-65 on the bench next to a bunch of model A pieces. I really hatethe idea of not flying my model A but it's getting old . I have yet to resemblethe A after it quit a month or so ago. I have new pistons and I still need toopen the bores a bit I believe. I still don't have a good answer about the pistonsscoring. I'm going to open the bores to get the .005 clearance and runit again but I'm wondering about the confidence to fly it. How many glider ridescan I have.
