First day of Spring was a beautiful flying day, I skipped work early to get a few minutes of flying in.

Seems to work fine although it wouldn't hurt to have .125". The thinner is easier to work with I suppose.

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.

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!
