Aircraft AN fittings are 37 degrees and AN fittings are AN fittings regardless who sells them. Now if someone could tell me why aircraft wire is better than automotive wire I'd be happy. So far I haven't been able to tell the difference. One thing I did find out; My Auto Meter CHT has an upper limit of 350 degrees and my Volks Type 4 has an upper limit of 450 degrees. Have to replace it.

(about 45 car-minutes north of Boston) sometime in September or October. Anyone interested in attending should send me an e-mail--I'd like to have enough possible attendees to persuade William Wynne that it would be worth it; he's never done one in the Northeast and has some interest in the idea but needs convincing. We have the facility and an active EAA chapter, and it's a great place to visit even if you're not a Sox or Pats fan! Mark Hodgson mhodgson@bu.edu P.S. Please keep "Corvair College" in the subject header to avoid spamicide. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:58:56 PM PST US From: Kip and Beth Gardner Subject: Engines-List: Re: Pietenpol-List: Corvair College in New England , "Hodgson, Mark O" --> Engines-List message posted by: Kip and Beth Gardner At 11:36 AM -0500 2/8/05, Hodgson, Mark O wrote: >--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Hodgson, Mark O" > >Hi Corvair people, > >I'm interested in getting a Corvair College going at the EAA 106 hangar >in Lawrence, Mass.

Hi Mark, I hope I'm not raining on your parade, but William & I will be finalizing plans for this year's Ohio Corvair College when he is here this weekend to do his "Night School". My EAA Chapter would prefer to have it in early summer, but my in my initial conversations with William last mnoth, he said that he would probably have to opt for late August or early Fall some time, since their big push over the next few months is going to be to get a backlog of parts built up & also finish the Corvair TriMotor project. I'm definitely not saying don't go for it, but you may have to convince him to work around what we're already planning. I'll be putting the word out about the OH Corvair College once we have the dates nailed down. Also, Congratulations BERT! It's great to hear that one more has taken to the skies. Hope to see you at Brodhead sometime. Cheers! Kip Gardner -- North Canton, OH
