(shad bell) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 10:21:41 PM PST US From: shad bell Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair running grrrrrrreat! Hello group, 20 +hrs and counting on the new rebuilt corvair. I have flown over 20hrs in the last 30 days, thats insane!! I just keep putting gas in and pushing the throttle in and going up. Took my wife up as the first crash test dummy, (after using dead weight of course), and she flies good. We flew 20 miles to a pankake breakfast last sat am when it was 44 degrees F, and had fun. Only problem was my frozzen fore head, she never complained. I also took a 6ft 4in fellow I work with flying last weekend and he enjoyed the hell out of it, except getting in the front hole. We have about 25 hrs on it in the last month and I must say, It eats Cubs for dinner, on climb and cruise. I am still coming in a bit hot with 2 pepole aboard to ease the weight on to the mains (wheel landings) as we need at least 1 more wrap on our bungees to stiffen up the gear for the increased weight. Dad came up and stold the wheels to put on some 8.00-6 tires, so she is up on blocks for the time being, but he should be up tommorow and take Mom up for her 1st open cockpit ride with dad since she was in her early 20's. I hope I am home to see it. Hoping to make at least a few more fly ins this fall before the snow starts flying.
