When I first assembled the plane, after tightening everything , I wound up with a slight negitive dihedral. Decided to go with about 1 1/2 deg positive. walt evans ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:19:57 PM PST US From: Isablcorky@aol.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Making dihedral I think you will be pleased with the 1 1/2 positive. That is what I used. I sure like that tent hangar. Give me some info on that please.

I wished I lived in a place where canvas/plastic covered hangers can survive. We typically record 50 MPH wind gusts around here. Last year had a 90 MPH blast (with hail) that blew out the windows in the house (but didn't phase my steel hanger). What kind of winds do you have where you are? I'm on the front porch here in Tornado Alley in Central Texas with no trees for any protection.

I thought a Sawsall was the wood airplane builders best buddie? Looks like razor wire strung out along the back side of your "hanger". Must be a tough neighborhood. Nice work.

Sterling Brooks 5TA6 sterling didn't you have a couple of corvair engines you wanted to sell ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 07:55:41 PM PST US From: N321TX@wmconnect.com Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair engines & misc for sale I have one complete Corvair (still intact) and two disassembled Corvair engines, one of which has the 100 HP heads. I know nothing about Corvairs, but at Brodhead last summer, I saw them fly, they sounded VERY GOOD and I was impressed. They ran so smooth, it was difficult to detect vibration as we have in the four cylinder engines. The 6 cylinder Corvair is impressive being so smooth running. I'm selling because I already have a pristine Continental A-80 engine for my airplane. My Corvair engines came with a project airplane that I acquired recently and I'd like to sell the entire lot, with spare parts, fan shrouds, and stuff that I don't even know what it is. I also have a Corvair motormount that a Corvair block was attached to and already mounted on the front of my Piet. Lastly, I has a set of very nice looking VDO gauges that were destined for the Corvair setup. I'm not in a position to box up all this stuff... Too many things to pack and I am without the use of my right hand for probably a couple of months. If anyone in interested, I'm happy to provide a price if you can pick it up in Central Texas. I'd rather not piecemeal this stuff out, everything goes at once. All of the above mentioned parts filled up the entire back end of my Silverado pickup when I brought the stuff home several months ago, so bring a pickup, big van or trailer...
