Crank Extension, last one is available, This machined item will allow the propto pull air at an increase , as I have used one on all my Ford and Funk Engines,now I have a 90 hp Lambert prop that will turn 2000 RPM plus on a B block.The new machined cost is $ 370.00, first come first serve,By the way when I had my Incident at Oshkosh, the Ground-Adjustable alum, propwas damaged and the load that was put on the crank was absorbed by the Extension,which was bent, and required replacement, no damage to engine, after veryclose inspection.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: SERFI FLY-IN

Instead of raising the roof of your shop you could remove the landing gear and put the fuse on a low dolly to move it around. Besides it is a lot easier to cover without the gear on it.

Steve;Just this evening I was saying to Jay, my wife, that the original Air Camper waslaid out and framed on the wooden floor of a barn, in the off season when farmerswere done bringing in the crops, and that it was built out of commonly availablematerials in a simple and unpolished way. I was bemoaning the fact thatI am now on my 3rd attempt at getting a decent paint job on two aluminum coolingeyebrows for my engine. The first attempt was a horrible mass of fisheyedpaint. The second attempt had very little fisheye but I got too sluggishwith the rattle can and the paint sagged and ran, and I despaired. Now it's strippedand cleaned and ready for attempt no. 3, but I'm wondering why, when theoriginal 1929 airplanes were built and finished simply, but flew just fineanyway.A friend of mine sent me a video of a J-2 Cub with the Everal single-blade prop,flying around the patch. What struck me was the camera view out the cockpit.Besides the countryside moving out in front of and below the airplane, theaileron cross-connect cable is seen passing between the two wing roots, and thesawing motion that the connecting turnbuckle makes as the pilot works the controlsis the essence of the kind of simple geometry and construction that characterizesour airplanes. It's just flat not rocket science.Shape a piece of metal to cover the hole that you have. Smooth it as best youcan. Get some clecoes and rivets and fasten it in place. Paint it with whateveryou have at hand. You're done. You will love flying your Air Camper whenit's done and flying.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: SERFI FLY-IN
