Subject: Pietenpol-List: piet hats...
Getting ready for the 75th anniversary version. They will be $20 plus
shipping or available at Brodhead (if anyone shows...)
I've got 9 green and 1 black that are left-over from last batch. $10
each plus $2 per package shipping in the US.
These say "low and slow for 70 years" on the back instead of low and
slow for 75 years!
Offered here first.
Ebay with same reserve in a couple of days.

Hi Everyone,
Since Ken asked, this is to remind everyone that the "Buckeye Corvair
College" will be held June 18-20 at Barber Airfield (2D1 on the
Detroit Sectional) in Alliance,Ohio. Alliance is about 20 minutes
east of Akron, Ohio.
William Wynne will be there to answer all your Corvair questions and
assist you with your engine project. Hopefully, he will also have his
new Corvair-powered Zenith CH601 on display.
The sponsor is EAA Chapter 82. Feel free to fly or drive. If you fly,
don't forget your tie-downs! Barber is a GRASS strip with limited
installed tie-downs. Think Brodhead :).
There will be camping on the field, with access to limited cbathroom
and shower facilities, and there are reasonable hotels and
restaurants nearby in Alliance.
We ask that anyone planning to do SIGNIFICANT work on an engine
project consider making a donation ($25-100 suggested) to help
William and the Chapter offset expenses. Just looking is completely
free, but we'll still pass the hat :).
The Chapter is providing it's clubhouse and workshop space, where
there will be bench space, ample lighting, compressed air and a parts
washer.
There will also be outside space in the form of a pavilion tent for
those who want to leave their engines on the back of their trucks,
but want a covered space to work.
Plan on bringing your engine, parts and whatever hand tools you need.
Hope to see you all there.
I'll be talking to William soon & more details should be forthcoming
on his web site:
http://www.flycorvair.com
P.S. - would someone please post this to the CorvairCraft site?
Regards,
Kip Gardner, President, EAA Chapter 82

Yes that is the same carb I have been talking about. It appears to be a
acceptable unit and correct for my engine. Thanks to Dave I have downloaded
the info from the Taylorcraft site on my engine and so now I can measure
the venturi and jet and see how it is set up.
Thank you to all for their help.

Corvair Question,
A friend of mine has done some research on the Piet after finding out
that I was going to start building one for myself. He had asked me which
engine I was planning to use and I told him that I was leaning toward the Con
o-200. He said, based on his research, that BHP had believed that the Corvair
was
the best choice for my plane rather than the Con.
To the Group. Did BHP believe that the Corvair was the best choice
verse the others he had used? And did he believe it was the best choice only
because he never had tried the Con 65 thru 100 hp engines?
Thanks,
Greg Menoche

Les,
When you take the venturi out of the carb, it will have the size cast into
its outside surface. It will either be a 1-1/4", 1-5/16", or 1-3/8". No
need to measure.

In my humble opinion, engines such as the corvair, VW and Subaru offer
some unique benefits to the homebuilder. They are simple to convert,
and affordable. The latest Kitplanes has an article about the
rebuilding of a Subaru EA-81 for less than $1,000. My complete firewall
forward for my Piet, the engine, belt reduction, mount, etc,
instruments, all new or zero-timed, with a complete rebuilt spare engine
to swap at overhaul time, ran me $4,000 Canadian. I can't get a
lycoming up here for anything less than twice that, and that would need
an overhaul. I will have a very quiet but powerful liquid cooled engine
with modern reliable ignition that I can get parts for anytime,
anywhere. If I can't figure out a problem, my local mechanic can help,
and at $30.00/hr vice 3-4 times that. I think BHP's whole focus was on
cheap reliable aviation for the backyard tinkerer.

Finished up my endorsement today. Took me about 8 hours. I was getting
instruction in a SuperCub. those SuperCubs sure are a BLAST to fly!!!!
So now that I've got the endorsement there's no excuses to not get this GN-1 in
the air!
