A momentous day for my Piet!! With the help of some great friends and skilled builders my project rolled out on to the driveway for the first time. It seems like she's been upside down on sawhorses for months - oh wait, it has been months... But the wait was worth it.

Hello friends, I have recently tested a jeep 134 engine with an old 72x46 senisenichpropeller , and was disappointed with the results. I was only able tosqueeze 1800 rpm's from the motor. After a lot of encouragement from hereand my facebook friends to not give up, I made up a new propeller from dimensionssuggested to me by William Wynne. He graciously answered my call to figurehis best estimate as to a propeller that would work on this particular engine.. The resulting propeller is a 64x32 with the hefty style of a Hamilton Standardshape that I copied because I like that look. After testing the proptoday I was seeing nearly 2400 static rpm and a world of air moving. Ithas given me enough encouragement to continue with my project to use the Jeep.In my opinion this engine if matched to the correct propeller and carburetorwould be a good candidate for the Pietenpol aircamper . If this attachmentdoesn't work and you would like to see the engine run with the new propeller,Go to youtube and type Kenny Crider you will see the video jeep enginenew prop test run.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: On her feet!

Scott;>From the looks of the fittings on the front, you're going with a Continental enginemount? Regardless of your powerplant choice, one thing you can do thatis very easy to do at this stage of the build is to add a bottom access in thefront bay, ala Kevin Purtee. Kevin actually has Plexiglas or lexan over theaccess opening so the passenger can see out between his feet, but even if youdon't do that, having access to the front of the cockpit from underneath is veryuseful, especially if you plan on having a tank in the nose. There will bea fuel fitting and maybe a shutoff valve there, and believe me- crawling intothe front cockpit upside-down to work under there is not joyful. Add the needfor a light, tools, and small parts- and it's a perfect recipe for frustrationand soreness. Then if you throw in the need for reading glasses to see upclose... well, needless to say, I've exercised my vocabulary as well as my bodyworking up under there more times than I would have liked.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: The Jeep Pietenpol engine update

There's notan enemy supply train west of the Mississippi that's going to be safe with youout on patrol! ;o)Interesting set of X-brace tubes in your field of view, as well as a vertical rodright in front of the windscreen.

To stay on subject, after viewing the test run of Kenny's engine with the optimizedprop, I have three observations:1. The engine seems like it has limbered up considerably since the first startsand runs. It looked very stiff in the beginning, but now obviously flips overmuch more readily.2. The engine sounds very strong and steady at speed!3. That beefy, broad-bladed prop is very attractive. The light lamination on theleading edge against the darker laminations behind it is a pleasing combination.PS, I think Kenny just celebrated a birthday last week. Whatever it was, Kenny,it doesn't matter... working on engines and airplanes turns the clock backwardsand keeps you young!--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 07:13:00 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: On her feet!
