Got an engine.. yippie! 'Don's dream Machines' out in GA.. is overhauling an A65-8for my GN-1 and will be running her on a stand in next day or so. Very cheap/reasonable.I'm glad, as the one that the previous owner took off the GN-1airframe that I bought was a -8. Now .. he did mention that he put the bigger piston pins(but not the 75 pistons)drilledsomething(rod's), etc, etc... in the event that I convert it to 75hplater. He thinks it's safe to run at higher rpm by getting smaller prop as an"experimental" if I desire to do so, but me thinks me wants to play it safe andget a 72x42pitch. Any thoughts on that...best prop?... especially from GN-1(w/A65)folks? I would really like a wood prop...LerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Cap strip length question

I'm going to place an order for 1/4 x 1/2 cap strips from ACS. Will ordering themcut to 60" long leave me enough length for the rib top cap strips? Seems likethere won't be a lot of extra if I order them at that length.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:39:10 +0000 (UTC)
