Thanks, Oscar. If I cannot find one, I will have one made out of steel. I willcontact the fellow who overhauled the engine and see if he might have mine. Hehas many A-65s lying around. Maybe he has one I can purchase. I am sure I hadit at one time.Thanks,RaySent from my iPad> On Sep 21, 2014, at 9:52 PM, taildrags wrote:> > > Ray; the crush plate on my A65 was made of steel and it appeared to be a sub-partof the hub assembly. The objective is to have all of the bolts apply forceevenly to the face of the wooden prop so the wood doesn't crush in the immediatearea of the bolt head, so if you make a new one out of aluminum (or steel),don't make it too thin or it will flex when you torque the bolts down. Infact, the best thing to do is to see if you can find another airplane with atapered shaft and crush plate on it, then use that as a go-by.> > --------> Oscar Zuniga> Medford, OR> Air Camper NX41CC "Scout"> A75 power> > > > > Read this topic online here:> > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 902#430902> > > > > > > > > > ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Alternative Engine Round-Up

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "taildrags" Yes, that really is Purdy! Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but there sure are a lot of beholders who think that an Air Camper is beautiful (and has been for 85+ years now).
