Subject: Pietenpol-List: Question regarding control surface travelI have seen where aileron travel in degrees was discussed previously and remember parts of the discussion. I do not however remember anyone discussing the amount of travel for each surface individually and in the same document. At the risk of having the information repeated in part, could someonewith either empirical or theoretical based knowledge provide the following information for control surfaces:Ailerons travel in inches and degrees up and downRudder deflection left and right of center Elevator up and down from center Center being considered at the zero surface position where no deflection existsI want to be assured that when I begin my surface set up that I have adequate or greater than adequate surface deflection such that I never run outof aileron, rudder and elevator authority.ThanksJohn________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Ethanol in Mogas-- more coming

Without regard to what shady drivers/stations may put in their high test tanks,as Harvey mentions below, I know that the Kwiktrip stations in Wisconsin specificallyadvertise their Premium fuel as being ethanol free and the recommended"Recreation Fuel" for ATVs, Snowmobiles, and small engines. They must not seethe mogas aviation community as a big enough market to advertise to. :DRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Ethanol in Mogas-- more coming

There's a series of gas stations in Maine that actually have the chutzpah to put"ENRICHED with up to 10% methanol." Some of the customers actually buy intoit.

I built the inverted B Ford block.( Funk ) In 1998. It is hangered at Palmyra WI.The basics are, Oil pump in the dist, spot. radiator is parallel to left side ofblock, with dampers to control temps.oil drains to oil sump on fire wall fromthe valve cover front and back locations.crank drilled to accept oil from mains.side mounted mag,water pump driven from rear pulley on crank, there is a1"hi ring that is anchored at each cylinder to slow oil flow into piston/rod area,6.25compression and alum. head.64 HP.There are a few other items that are required but it sure makes a faster, cleanoperating Pietenpol.The Funk Airplane used this engine in it's early models.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Ethanol in Mogas-- more coming
