This list is quiet but seems like there's a lot of folks lurking so here's a couple of question for you all Recently the engine has started to hunt up and down 100 rpm or so when hot and idling. Doesn't seem to happen much when the engine is warming up. Any thoughts? For the past few months there has been a clicking noise coming from the passenger side rear radio speaker (Bose system). The click is there whether the engine is running or not, and doesn't vary in volume when I adjust the volume control. It clicks a couple of times a second or so. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I understand that people with enough discretionary income and a sense of adventure will gravitate toward airplanes and fast cars, but ... Anyway, it's a good thing. Sold my Grumman AA1-A after starting my RV-8. I believe it was the only Yankee with a Mach meter in it.

My first plane and the plane I got my SEL add on was an AA1. I shopped many months for it and I think it was the and probably still is the best AA1 flying. It had the O320, aux tanks and all the "clean-up" kits. Two nav coms, one GS, gps, 2 VOR heads, DME, loran, fuel flow, and thinks I can't remember. Great plane. But as I remember with two big boys it was at gross with no fuel! I was coming up on an overhaul and the oil pump AD so it was time to upgrade. I looked at the Cheetahs and Tigers, but during the time I had the AA1 the new Tigers were being made. So the prices were going up FAST! Heck a nice used Tiger was around $70K if I recall correctly. I decided to get a hi-perf complex for that kind of money and bought a great Bonanza. I still fly to the AYA fly-ins. I just tell'em I have the "V tail" STC on my Grumman! Probably not that strange that we all have airplanes. I suspect that most of us were looking at or on one of the aircraft related lists, have a Vette, and figured what the heck, I'll sign up for the Vette list!

The complete Corvette-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Corvette-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** Corvette-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Corvette-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Corvette-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Corvette-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Corvette-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. ------- [This is an automated posting.]
