| Subject: | Re: Corvair engines & misc for sale |
I'm letting everything go for $350. This includes some books about Corvair
engines that I haven't even unboxed yet, as well as the VDO gauges and
motormount.
I'm leaving for Houston and will be gone 5-1 to 5-5 and I'll be gone on a
second trip 5-13 to 5-17.
In between my trips, I'll try and take some pictures of the three engines,
motormount, VDO Gauges and misc. parts to post of MyKitplane.com. For those who
have e-mailed me off list and have expressed an interest in this stuff, it
would work best for me if you can come down after 5-17.
Also, if you are interested in seeing a couple of pictures that I have,
please e-mail me at my high-speed address and I can send some pictures on 5-6.
That
address is sterling@pgrb.com
Thanks,

Sorry about the picture, but I though a lot of folks might find this
interesting.
It seems like I'm always doing something I really shouldn't do. I mounted my
video camera to the side of the cockpit for some in flight video footage. A
lot of thought went into this mount, however, it's quite distracting trying to
manage the camera, and fly the plane. I flew with the camera yesterday, and
it worked pretty well, and produced some interesting video, but I found a
couple of things to watch out for. The directions for my camera said you can
permanently damage the lens if you point it straight at the sun. When I was
taxiing out, it pointed at the sun, so I covered up the lens with my hand, but
then
I couldn't work the throttle. I moved my hand to the throttle, and the
camera went to some sort of auto shut down, and just showed about 10 minutes of
blue screen. I tried it again, and the sun caused a black spot in the video in
the upper left corner of the video. I thought I permanently damaged the lens,
but I did a short test at home, and didn't see the spot, so hopefully the
camera is not damaged...Whew !! I've now got some unexpected things to watch
out for, that flight tests uncover. The mount that I made allows for use on
either side of the cockpit, and I can adjust it to point down or up, and look
forward or backward, out to the side, or even look at the instrument panel. All
those directional adjustments have to be made on the ground. This camera has
a seperate lens for still pictures, with 4.3 megapixles of resolution.
Yesterday, I only tried with the camera on the right side, looking forward. I'm
planning on doing a lot more in flight video. With the zoom lens, I'll be
looking for swimming pools & bikini's !!! he he he...

to the web site) but this looks VERY interesting!

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "DJ Vegh" <djv@imagedv.com>
so... today I tried TIG welding for the first time. Wow! it's easier
than it seems. If you can gas weld then TIG is a no brainer. By my 2nd
weld I was laying down nice beads with full penetration. I really like
TIG!
The one I tried out today is from this guy who lives near me. He helped
develop and distributes this TIG/Plasma cutter all in the same box. it's a
40 amp plasma cutter and the TIG is 160amp. The plasma cutter is amazing.
Sliced right through some .25" steel with ease. It will cut all the way
through .75" steel if you crank it up to a full 40 amps. He sells the unit
for a great price, about $1400. My dad and I are probably going to buy
one.... where else can you get a plasma and TIG for $1400?!
if any of you on the lust are shopping for a TIG or Plasma or both let me
know. I can put you in contact with the guy.

| Subject: | O-200 need muffler? |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Ted Brousseau" <nfn00979@naples.net>
Hi,
I have a newly rebuilt O-200 sitting here waiting (and waiting) for me to
finish the fuselage. It occurred to me that almost every Piet I have seen
has no mufflers but are usually 65 to 85 hp. Do I need to concern myself
with a muffler or something else to make enough back pressure to keep the
O-200 happy? Will straight pipes burn valves?
Thanks,
Ted
90% done and 90% to go.
