I haven't run an analysis, but I would be very confident substituting the 5/8" round tubing (particularly with a heavy wall like .066") for the streamlined tubing. I'll try to run some numbers tonight. How long are your cabane struts? Are they the standard "plans" length, or did you make them longer (as I did).

I have some 5/8" X .066 wall, and I think this will suffice, but I just wanted another oppinion.

I also have some 3/4 X .058, and some 7/8 X .035 in reserve for the Tailwind I'm building. I have an abundance of the 5/8 X .066, and was hoping it would be adequate.

During the last mess in Iraq my best friend was on the Eisenhower & other friends were on the Iwo Jima; I'll be thinking about you. As Bert says, you guys need anything, get in touch with the list, we'll do what we can.

We would like to try to get William Wynne to come up and do a Corvair College during one of the vintage aircraft Fly-Ins that are going to happen at Barber this summer. I'm going to see if I can enlist the help of my EAA Chapter (#82), which just aquired a large mobile home that we are renovating as a meeting and workshop space at Barber. The Chapter usually holds a pancake breakfast at the Fly-Ins there. What I'm trying to do now is find out how many of 'youse guys' might be interested in attending so that we can have some idea whether or not this would be worth William's time. I have not yet contacted William, I want some idea of interest first. Alliance is ~2hrs. (driving time) west of Pittsburgh, ~5hrs. east of Michigan and Indiana, ~4 hrs. north of Charleston W.VA, ~5hrs. from Buffalo, NY and about 6 hrs. from Washington, DC. This makes it an ideal location for all you guys living in the Lower Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Plus, you'd be attending a real nice 'down home' fly-in. Potential dates would be: June 6,7,8 - Funk Fly-In July 4,5,6 - Taylorcraft Fly-In August 8,9,10 - Aeronca Fly-In The Funk Fly-In is a new event a Barber, the other two are established events and well attended. A lot of OH Piet guys tend to show up at the Taylorcraft event, and Mike Cuy usually flys in if the weather is good (just a little arm twisting there, Mike). Anyway, please let me know if any of you would be interested in coming to a Corvair College. Also, if one of you on the CorvairCraft list could forward this to them, I'd appreciate it. Post replies to me or the list. Thanks very much!

It is about a 10-12 hr. trip from this area to that part of WI and anyone coming from further south or east (WV-MD-NY-PA) would have to travel even longer. If William is willing, maybe we could work schedules out such that he does a Midwest/Mid-Atlantic 'tour' (would he need 'roadies'?). I believe Airventure ends right before the Aeronca Fly-in at Barber, which is Aug. 8,9,10. Maybe Wm. could do the WI College in conjunction with the Brodhead Piet Fly-In & then come do the OH one after AirVenture? Let me know what you think. Kip Gardner North Canton, OH
