As I recall (this was about 5 years ago) it took me a couple of weeks of
work so maybe a total of 20-25 hours?
I've attached another couple of photos of the plane so you can see the
finished product, as well as a couple of pictures of a Stearman's
windshield. You can tell I was copying it wherever I could.

Jack,
Those look great, now I am starting to consider going with faceted
windshields.. looks like a lot of work. Still might try the simple one
first..
How much time you think you will end up having spent building those?

A visit to the website shows that he will be flight testing the products on his
Zenith, tail number N1777W. If memory serves me correctly, William Wynne's Pietenpol
was tail number N1777W... I guess since the Piet was destroyed the airplane
went off the registry and that number was available, but to me using that
tail number is almost like marrying your sister-in-law after your brother dies

At first I thought that this biz was going to compete with WW. Now it seems to
me that his product line is doing things that WW is not doing. I see that he
was nitriding Corvair cranks before. I wonder if he has been the fellow nitriding
for WW.
I guess we will find out more. Oscar, you are right about the tail number seeming
strange. Maybe they are great pals.
His product line is neither mainstream nor cheap. The cast iron liner/Al. cylinder
is an interesting combo. I know that has workded quite well in some water-cooled
autos, lessening weight and still giving iron cylinders. Iron cylinder
walls are superior in lubricocity to steel walls, and are softer, wearing out
rings more slowly. Is this iron/Al. combo common in aircraft? I did not think
so.

Nitron was the company that William Wynne was recommending for nitriding
cranks.
Pramod was the contact at Nitron.
N1777W was the tail number for WW's Piet.
He kept the number and used it for his Zenair 601.
Last summer William mentioned on his website that he was thinking about
selling his 601, so that he could have the space to possibly build a new
plane.
Looks like Pramod bought WW's 601 (maybe without an engine).
So, Oscar, maybe it's more like marrying your friend's second wife, that
he divorced after the first wife died.

| Subject: | FAA waivers = EAA refusal to support chapter events |
I figured that it would interest many of my friends...
My local EAA chapter is organizing a rather large "aviation day" type fly-in
(Feb.16) for the second year. We were just informed by EAA that if an EAA
chapter fly-in has *any* FAA waivers for any reason, they will absolutely
NOT sanction the event or provide insurance. This would apply to ANY event
that has skydiving demos, balloon races, aerobatics, certain demonstrations,
military fly-bys, etc. I don't wanna start a big thing on this list per se,
but I know this will affect many aviation days, fly-ins, etc. that many of
you might be involved with. We were SHOCKED to hear this and it seemed to
fly in the face of what I understood they were saying about how the
well-publicized changes to the regional event sponsorships. They said that
those changes wouldn't affect chapter-level events and fly-ins, but it
obviously does.
I guess IAC is just out of luck now and can't hold acro contests unless they
go it alone?
In short, now we have to find our own insurance, and from what I heard at
the meeting today, many of the very active chapter members are *seriously*
angry with EAA... to the point that many experienced homebuilders have
started to question the benefit and purpose of even belonging to EAA and why
does our chapter even need to be be affiliated any more if they're not going
to help us promote aviation beyond a pancake breakfast?
I don't know if this is coming from the underwriters, lawyers, EAA board, or
who, but it sure seems to confirm a lot of the rumors that were going around
since last year. I've also been told that the new Young Eagles forms have
legal language that many pilots can't go along with and which requires the
parents to sign away all rights to sue EAA unless they pay EAA's expenses,
I'm not a lawyer but I heard about that at Oshkosh from some VERY
high-number YE pilots. I didn't place much stock in that story before but
now, the pieces seem to fit together rather well.
Has the heart and soul of the EAA finally been destroyed by lawyers? I sure
hope not, but I'm pretty alarmed right now and sad for the inevitable
side-effects. If they can't support their chapters holding reasonable, safe
events, then what CAN they do to support local aviation? Oshkosh is
wonderful and all, but that's NOT the focus of where new pilots come from!
They're basically saying that "if you work with the FAA and follow the rules
to keep the event safe, then we expect you to have an accident so we don't
want anything to do with you." I should point out that they won't cover ANY
part of the event, they're not just excluding covering the parts of it
requiring FAA waivers.
Anyway, I just thought that many of you would like to know about this
situation. We weren't told anything about this until just now... less than a
month out from our event! How many other EAA chapters are going to get this
same rude awakening at the last minute, and just cancel events entirely?
Sad, sad, sad. And they wonder why aviation is so expensive...
-Mike
