Cool train cart or whatever it's called. What kind of drive and clutch set up does it have ? Bruce, on the prop rotation thing, when I removed the prop from my...
I just sent a pic of my try at a 032 powered airboat. This is a 12 ft. alum. jon boat and It didn't work out too good. I had too much weight on the rear and...
How about a reduction drive on the prop? Star Cruiser Hovercraft use a 3:1 reduction turning a 54" prop. Put out about 150 pounds of thrust. The prop is home...
Doesnt sound like the greatest trip but still nice to see another take on the idea. What diam/pitch is prop and ratio of your reduction drive? I have shifted...
I'm not playing hard to get but I don't remember the pitch/dia. and the fan is loaned out now to a neabor to keep him cool while stacking hay in a barn. I...
Hi all, I'm on several groups but just joined this one. I've got a 4A032 project and need some suggetions. Background on engine: standard 4A032 stripped down,...
One other note. Before buying my engine I found a local pawn shop/surplus/junk store that has three of the 28vdc power units with the 4A032 engines. Two of...
Not much activity here? Thought I'd throw out a question about something I'll be tackling in the near future. Will enough air be drawn over a 4ao32 engine in...
... Is ... Joe, I ran an 032 on my test stand in pusher configuration for several hours without any of the cooling stuff & it didn't fail; no gages to...
Hi Shack, This is going on a golf cart kinda like an airboat on ashpalt! lol That's why I need the prop behind the engine for clearance. I've got a 3blade...
Joe, Since the 4A032 was designed for forced air cooling it probably does not have enough fin area to keep the cylinders cool with a pusher prop. My guess is...
Thanks for the Pitts complement David. Its a blast in the air and two hands full (and feet)on the ground! hahahaha Looks will be important on this project so...
Hi, Joe and David! I monitor this group and the surplus military engines group. I have 3 4AO32 engines on order: one to play with and the other 2 to go in a...
Hi Guys! I have been working on creating an electric starter for the 4A032 for several months.....a few minutes here, a few minutes there. About a month ago I...
Hey Bruce, That's great. Please, keep us up to date on it. All the info will be greatly appreciated. On a side note, I got a carb for my 32. It's a 25mm...
Bruce "you da man" ...great news. Please provide the model number on the starter as soon as you can so we can be looking for one of those $5 ebay deal!...
When removing the throttle gov off the 4a032 there appears to be an oil line attachment of some sort that runs just above the oil filter? If I remove the gov...
I'm not sure. I was going to bild a 15' version of the Raptor but I'm tossing a couple other ideas around. I may go with a smaller craft but nothing less that...
Hi All, I just posted some pics in the photo's section in a file named "Joe's Pics". There are a couple of pics of my 4A032 engine project (for a golf cart)...
Joe, I see you have a Fram spin-on oil filter on your engine. What number is it? I checked out your Pitts pictures. Nice, one of my favorite planes! I have...
David, THe Fram number is PH-16. Several manufactures make the same filter and use that number. I got the fram (at K-mart)only because it was orange!...
Joe, Thanks for the filter number. You are right. With only 65 horses on my Taylorcraft it will not do a vertical climb from the deck to 800 feet. Now if I...
David, I heard a rummor last weekend at the flyin that a couple of guys at one of the local Exp aircraft hangers is building a Hummelbird and they plan to...
Joe, The Hummelbird sounds pretty cool. I thought about the twin idea too. I was thinking along the lines of a push/pull ultralight kind of like the...
Joe, You mentioned having to shorten one of the bolts for your govonor cover plate. That particular bolt has another point to watch out for also. The lower...
I have a "Precision Prop Inc" 3 blade ground adjustable prop with 40" standard right hand rotaion blades. A photo of the prop can be seen in the "Photo's"...
Starting to get down to the nitty gritty on the engine. I installed an Oil pressure gauge where the oil line ran to the gov body. I was looking over the fuel...
