Steve; if you want to fab your own there are some construction details of a
simple carb heat box on a single pipe on Mark Langford's site, at
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/airbox/
I think Mark also tried an off-the-shelf (Wicks/Spruce) muff on his setup so
that's another option.

Jack, Did you ever change over to your new wood prop? My 74 X 38 seems to
work really well (of course after my old prop a warped 2 X 4 would seem to
do really well).

Speaking of props. Does anyone have an extra prop for the Model A engine,
or a recommendation of the best source?
Thanks,
Max

| Subject: | Took my first lesson this week |
I now have 1, count it, 1 hour, in my log book. I did OK with allot of
things, rolling out on a heading, decents, and what not. My turn
coordination and rudder intputs left something to be desired. I was
having trouble getting use to the rudder pedal feel. The plane is coming
along well, I have almost all the fittings on the wing, the turnbuckles
on the center section and will be working on the struts and strut
fittings soon. I finished the ailerons and cut them out. I should get
pics up later this week.

| Subject: | In defense of bean counters and academics |
I agree with a lot of what has been said about the direction that EAA
has gone in the recent past and here's hoping that they expand back
into the direction of the little guy. Turning 45 this Friday, I can
now proudly say that "recent" to me means "in the past 20 years"!
Anyway, I have to take exception to the thought that it was the "bean
counters" and the "academics" that had ANYTHING to do with the
direction that EAA took. You may be surprised at the income levels of
"bean counters" and "academics". Being an "academic", I can assure
you that owning one-third of a Pietenpol and driving one very used
car is about all my vehicle budget can stand. People at the level of
"bean counters" and "academics" are the people who populate this
board and make up the backbone of EAA and other volunteer
organizations across America.
I, like others in this conversion, took a close look at the make-up
of EAA's board of directors a while ago. Far from "bean counters" and
"academics", the majority of the board was (and maybe still is) made
up of extreme upper level management/executive types/business owners.
As Casey Stengel used to say, "You could look it up!"
I am sure that EAA had its reasons for going this direction, and no
doubt the board provided direction along a path that filled the
coffers and helped with what EAA leadership viewed as political
realities. There is nothing wrong with that. You want people on
Boards who are successful and can get things done. And, there is no
substitute for solvency.
BUT...
You should never let that get in the way of what you're actually
trying to achieve. It may be that EAA has arrived at that conclusion
and hence the changes. I'll be more encouraged to see changes in the
make up of the board and not just the firing of a magazine editor.
I will now go practice saying my new favorite phrases: "Harumph!"
and "You kids get the hell off my lawn!"
Hey, this old age thing ain't half bad... ;)
