| Subject: | Windshield thickness |
I have "access" to a large sheet of either Plexiglass or Lexan, I don't know which,
but it is only 0.078" thick...I think most of the builders are using 1/8",
so is this stuff too thin to use for a windshield?

John,
I just checked mine and it is .08 standard home depot Lexan.
First day of Spring was a beautiful flying day, I skipped work early to
get a few minutes of flying in.
Regards
Hans

John,
Mine is .080" thick plexiglass. Seems to work fine although it wouldn't hurt to
have .125". The thinner is easier to work with I suppose.

| Subject: | Corvair engine package for sale |
I just listed a "firewall forward" sale item on Barnstormers.com. I am selling
the engine, cowl, prop, engine mount, and electrics from a project I recently
bought, since I already have a Continental planned for the aircraft. You'll find
it if you search "Corvair angine package".
The engine is converted per BHP's specs, has something like 40 hours run-in time
on a test stand, and no air time. The molded cowl parts were done on BHP's original
mold. The builder was keen on authenticity throughout the entire project.
Please take a look. We're planning to make the drive down from Ontario to Colorado
to pick this up somewhere in April, likely later in the month. Ideally for
a US customer we would dismount the engine etc. while there and ship it from
CO. Makes for a lighter trip home and fewer questions at the border.
I hope I have posted this in the spirit of the forum guidelines - it's the only
thing I have for sale, I'm not a peddler.
Cheers,
Mike D.

Fellow Pieters,
Today I built my first rib! It took about 2 hrs, including gluing and
nailing all the gussets. I know I'm not telling any of you anything you
don't already know, but I feel like there should be some sort of club, or
secret handshake.something!
