Mike,Thanks for the information on the A-65 mount. I will use your photos and the video to figure it out. I have a great friend who will do the TIG welding. I have the engine case free of all other parts so it will be easy to get the mounting holes correct!Thanks again,RaySent from my iPadOn Oct 17, 2012, at 4:57 PM, Michael Perez wrote:> > Ray, forgive me for intruding on your question to Oscar, but I may be able to share some ideas on building an A-65 engine mount. Attached are pictures of how I made mine. The aluminum angle represent the fuselage brackets and the round washers on the ends of the threaded rod represent the engine mounting ears on the engine. Ideally, you lay out the locations for all of these brackets/rods on the wood base and then install them. Since I manged to make my wood base too small, I had to bend two of the rods to get the dimensions correct. Had the wood been the right size, all rods would have been straight.> > Anyhoo, if interested feel free to contact me as I have a few more pictures and all the details to build this jig and do the welding. This jig makes it a snap to dial in down and right thrust to just about anything you wish prior to welding. > > Michael Perez> Pietenpol HINT Videos> Karetaker Aero> www.karetakeraero.com> > > > > ________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks, Oscar.I always beat Motel 6 and Super 8 on both price and hospitality! If you come viaI-80 I'm just off the route on Hiway 20. If you change your mind, let me know.Free food, free lodging and free flights...

The mount was not damaged in the nose-over.>> Did you make a new mount and did you build the jig for a new mount?> Nope... no new mount, no jigs. All I've done since mounting the A75 is changedthe shimming to add downthrust and right offset, and it's made a very positivedifference in cruise trim. Mike Perez is on the right track there.>> Will you be coming up I-5 on the way to Oregon? Need a place to stay, wantaride in the Waiex?> No, not coming up I-5 till I get to Mount Shasta. I'll need places to stay,but I've got the numbers (Super 8 and Motel 6).

Pietenpol-List: Re: A Corvair Question for Corvair drivers
Original Posted By: "jarheadpilot82"
I know that this post is not really specific to Pietenpol, but I thought that thiswas a good place to ask for help. So all of you A-65 pilots, Rotec pilots,)-200 pilots, etc. just roll on by as this will probably not interest you-I am going to a junkyard tomorrow that says they have 8 or 10 corvairs "off inthe weeds". I have William Wynne's Manual as well as his disassembly dvd, butthey do not really address the how to of pulling an engine from a corvair. I wroteWilliam Wynne and he suggested that I have someone fax or email me a copyof the 2 pages from Finch's book, the 2 pages that deal with dropping the enginefrom a car. Can anyone help?Terryjarheadpilot82(at)hotmail.comP.S. Thanks for any help in advance. If it is easier to fax, contact me off-lineand I will get my fax number to you.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: A Corvair Question for Corvair drivers

Hey. I'm not about to copy any of Finch's book without his permission. But the book does have some info on removing the engine from a car. I would suggest you buy Finch's "how to keep your Corvair alive" -- there is other information in it that you will need. C----- Original Message -----
