Oscar contributed an interesting article to the second quarter BPA Newsletter regardingthis exact issue. He uses the configuration of his Piet (long fuse, A65,split axle gear, 16 gal fuel tank in the fuselage) and some basic W+B numbersto illustrate that by using an Aerovee engine it should be quite possible.To summarize, his A-65 weighs 170lbs dry; an Aerovee weighs 158 lbs. By addingthe battery/battery box/cables/etc forward of the firewall and moving the Aeroveeone inch farther forward it should balance out.It should be feasible. Whether or not it's the ideal powerplant for a Piet is debatable,but it should be doable. As I said, the full text is in the second quarterBrodhead Pietenpol Association newsletter. http://www.pietenpols.org/RyanRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Bingelis books 2 for 1 @ EAA

Saw this in my inbox, and thought I'd pass it along. I received an EAA "ehotline"email this morning, and in it was an advertisement for a two-for-one specialon the four Tony Bingelis books. For those that don't have them, it's a prettycheap way to pick them up (I had two, so I completed my set). You can orderat:http://shop.eaa.org/html/bingelis_books.html?card_idor call 1-800-564-6322.
