The motor I was looking at is 285 lbs but makes 90+hp. If I made the peit a
single seater then it might work just fine. I will have to keep thinking
about it. Ligher is better.

I have sent you all the loose ones I had received but I will check again.
Been out of town for a few days in South Louisiana with Jim Cooper. Met a shrimp
boat at Forked Island and was BURDENED with having to bring back and dehead
40 lbs of jumbo shrimp until after midnight last night. Such are the trials
of retirement.

Just found out; My Pietenpol won the Best of Show Homebuilt at Hondo this
year.
Very surprised since I only spend a total of 1 1/2 hours at the show on
Friday.

my piet has been signed off for covering but I want to attach the wings
to check the CG first. That will be next month sometimes. At the present
I am working on the cowling for my corvair. I just finished the tunnel
type baffling that will be hidden by the cowling. I have the long fuse,
3 piecewing, 26 inch wide fuse, corvair engine on fuse. I am building at
the Lagrange airport in Lagrange Georgia. Would like to here from
anyone. Gardiner Mason, 428 Gordon circle, Lagrange,Ga. 30240

Hello Mr Mason, We just got Dad's corvair engine running today. We had a crankshaft
failure last August, and had to buid a new engine. The intake Dad bought
for the last engine(an oil bath intake) gave us numerous problems. I think
some cracks in the intake, resulting in multipule induction leaks ultimatly caused
the crank failure. The joints were all braized on the old intake, the new
intake is all welded and we did away with the oil bath. The engine is running
well and developing 3300 rpm with a 66-30 wood Heggy prop. We test ran it
for about 1 hr today and it went well. After 1 hr of break in (recomended by
William Wynne's mannual we drained the oil and changed the filter. After that
we test ran to check for leaks, and I did 2 high speed taxis. We would have
flown today but it was already too dark when I was taxing. Tommorow a.m. we will
test run again and hopefully slip the surley bonds of earth. Let me know
if you want some pictures of the engine and I can E
mail them to you. The cowling dad made is not Pietenpol's corvair cowling, and
I think it looks a lot better than the Pietenpl style cowling. Also, we are
not using a blower fan, We just welded a piece of steel in the fan hole in the
shroud and use it for baffling.
Let me know if you want any particulars,
Shad
P.S. Somebody in W.V. wanted battery, and Batt. box info, Dad got his from
Batteries Plus.
