Amusing site for a winter day. Some I'd seen, most I had not.

Well, I'm just full of questions and issues, aren't I? I'm still working on
the oil pressure gauge thing, but will most likely buy a new one (only $32
from Aircraft Spruce. 0-50 psi mechanical type), but two of you guys were
kind enough to email me with offers to help with fixing my broken one so I'm
still following up on those.
Now for the turn and bank. Corky built 41CC with a venturi to power the
turn and bank, but I was back in there wiring in my new ignition switch and
noticed that the air inlet port on the instrument does not have a filter on
it. As I understand it from Bingelis' books, there is supposed to be a
small mushroom-shaped inlet air filter on this tapped fitting on the top
rear of the housing. Searching for one in the Aircraft Spruce, Chief
Aircraft, and Wicks catalogs... as well as Google searches and looking on
eBay, turn up nothing. Anybody have a source for this filter, or ideas on a
substitute? I can readily see dust up inside the instrument area behind the
panel, so I know there is the potential for sucking dust into my T&B without
a filter.
Thanks.

Oscar,
Have you tried checking with any of the aircraft instrument overhaul
shops? Everyone around here uses one in PA (can't remember the name
offhand) & I remember seeing the web site for one called The Gyro
House that's somewhere west of the Mississippi (CA or AZ, I think).

No, no, no... "gyros" are these Greek taco things that you eat with tzatziki
sauce ;o) Very good, by the way... had some in Santorini and they were
pretty much the same as we eat here at a little place called Mina & Dimi's
Greek House. I've gotten to really appreciate ouzo, too, but that's another
story... and I don't like mine over ice.
Hey, thanks for the lead; I've emailed The Gyro House's repair station to
see if they offer the part for my T&B.

hi gang. I am building the 3 foot center section on my pietenpol and I am
making it a wet one. I have glassed in on bottom and sides with two baffles. I
would like to use .025 aluminum for the top and would like to know what the
best way to join the aluminum to the end ribs and spars. I used epoxy resin on
inside of tank and plan a drain at the front and rear of tank. Also I will have
a sample drain at the rear on either side. Thanks, Gardiner Mason in St.
Simons Island Ga.

My 2 cennts worth from building tanks for boats.
It best if tank is all the same material. The differnt rates of expansion
will cause problems down the road.

The ones with venturi that I have flown have not really been worth a great
deal. I don't know if you are planning on having a limited electrical
system. The electrical ones are quite reliable and dependable. I would
also check out some battery powered models, but they also likely might be
more trouble than they are worth.
The venturi system is very prone to icing, just like inside a carb and would
add some weight. If I were not planning to have a starter or other small
electrical system, I probably would just have the inclinometer and forget
the turn an bank

| Subject: | Covair engine gauges |
Question for you Piet/Corvair building concerning engine gauges. Am planning
to use Autometer engine gauges as WW recommends. Question concerns the type
of oil pressure and temperature gauges to get. Do I want use gauges with
remote senders so I don't have to run tubes with hot oil into the cockpit?
Also, any opinions on the need for CHT and EGT gauges with a Corvair engine?
Thanks
