"Corvair engines for homebuilt aircraft" <corvaircraft@mylist.net>
| Subject: | don't grab your hot exhaust! |
like I did today. Ran the engine on the Aircamper for about 15 minutes today.
Then I went to pull the plane in the garage and grabbed hold of the hot 500=B0
exhuast pipe with my right hand. OUCH! Instantly ran inside and ran cool water
over my hand. Called my friend and asked her to take me to the hospital.
I have 2nd degree burns over 50% of the inside of my right hand and partial
3rd degree on about 5%.
wow is it painful! burns are the worst thing a human can experience. I am soo
pissed off at myself for being so stupid. My right hand is pretty much useless
for the next couple weeks... and that really sucks cause I am right handed.
I'm taking Percocet for pain and they seem to take the edge off so thats good...
I'm high as a kite as I type this (with my left hand!)
Anyhow... I just wanted to vent my frustration with my Piet/Corvair friends.
:(
DJ Vegh
ps the engine fired right up after sitting for almost 4 months. I love my Corvair!!

DJ: When us regular people do something dumb, its just a dumb mistake.
If you were a doctor a dumb mistake would get you sewed back into the
stone age. Just don't any of us walk into a spinning prop! It has
happened. Congratulations on the first engine run. Do not Archive. Leon

Oh, man! That's gotta hurt! And there's nobody you can sue, but yourself.
Sorry to hear about that DJ. It made me wince just to read your account.

Good luck, Greg! You will soon have the finest feeling in the world,
flying your own Pietenpol built by your own hands. It just doesn't get
any better.

Congratulations on your sign-off Greg C. and Dale. Wooo-whooo
! Looking forward to hearing about
your first flight. If you and Jack P. can make the Brodhead trip there
will be at least two brand-spanking-new
Air Campers there.
On another note, good mate Simon McCormak in Tasmania, Australia sent me
this photo of him giving one
of his children a ride in his newly finished Ford A Air Camper. He's
having a blast with it he says. He's got
the ala Larry Williams brakes. Actually I think Larry has the ala Simon
brakes.

Sorry about the burns DJ, but you can take heart in the fact you've actually got
hot engine to accidentally grab hold of............my guess is about 80% of
homebuilders of all flavors would be glad to actually have a plane with a hotable
engine. Later on I'll get to vent about the outboard on my fishing boat.......that
devil is always causing problems.

| Subject: | A GOOD day at the airport |
NX18235 flies!
4 flights, 2.25 hours in the air. Chris Bobka at the controls.
A couple of slight rigging adjustments to correct a heavy left wing and a left
turning tendency.
A-65 ran strong and cool.
Full report to follow.
