Hey Brother, I took a Mitsubishi starter I got at a junk yard for 10 dollars and of course teeth didn't reach to the flywheel but, the bolt holes lined up so,...
I used a 1991 Mazda starter. The teeth match up fine but as John says the pinion doesn't quite reach. I took the end bell off of the starter and turned the...
Yeah the teeth were about 3/4 of an inch from reaching the flywheel. that is why the starter had to be machined, which sounds difficult but, if you plan ahead...
To vsualize "short" think of a normal starter as it fits into the bell housing. Now imagine a spacer under the starter's mounting ears that causes the starter...
Please forgive me if this question has been asked before. If this is an engine that has its origins in the military, wouldn't one assume the original...
Usually such things are retained at the National Archives. I obtained the manuals for my 084 powered 300amp welder from them. I got routed to them and made a...
Thanks. Good place to start. I did try looking for such things in Library of Congress. Oddly enough, I forgot about the National Archives. If I'm able to...
I really couldn't remember if it was the liberary of Congress or the National Archives. I decided that it must have been the NA but now I'm really starting to...
What does the large switch look like? Joe ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked. Take a...
Hi Joe, It is a large - about 8" - affair that was specially built for these welders. It switches the output current - 300amp - between several ranges and...

Hi Guys! Yesterday the Wind Wagon was on the runway again, with the intention of a low flight down the runway. First attempt I had to use the brakes...
Bruce, your prop may be pitched so that it is running out of thrust rapidly at 45 mph. I assume you have calculated from the pitch angle of the prop at the 75...
George, It looks like you were absolutly correct and right on the money! I'm still playing with the Ultraprop....because I have it and because it's the prop...
Bruce H, congratulation, I am excited about your adventure. You know I have been proffessing against the use in aircraft with this engine, but as it is...
Roger, Except for the camshaft change, the engine in the Wind Wagon is about as modified as I care to put into a flying airframe. It may well turn out to be...
Bruce, When I did my camshaft I did it per the procedure I outlined in my last letter. I shaved the heads, ported the heads, and with model clay took an...
No offense Roger, but it is your job to define what is shameful and tell him/us what you think that number is. Here, I will help you out. Please respond with...
It Flies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Guys! Today has been a very good day. The 4A032 Wind Wagon flies!!! After making some modifications to the brakes, and changing...
Scott, That was the biggest reason for landing back on the runway rather than continuing with the pattern....my flight test partner was not there. His biggest...
