I take it the plane that ended up with a broken crank is the one with the modelA engine that also had the broken mag mount earlier? I have not been followingthe Piets progress long enough to know if that has been an issue like it apparentlyhas been with the Corvair from time to time.I believe I saw one of theplanes at Brodhead with a Model A running some type of metal blade adjustableprop.I wonder if they're not better off with a light wood prop like the Corvairor if they run better with a heavy one to act as a flywheel.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2009 18:24:08 -0700 (PDT)
