How much are you asking for the package?

Subject: Pietenpol-List: 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.

Congratulations, Gary!!! You're on your way. Reminds me of a local surgeon
who climbed Mt. Everest a few years ago...he said that climbing Everest was
simple - just thousands of small, deliberate steps all connected together! Same
can be said for completing a Piet!
I like the idea of a Pietenpol Society secret handshake! Maybe we can develop
such a thing at Brodhead this summer. Only 120 days or so away!

Congratulations Gary,
Keep going only 31 more to go times 42 pieces of wood each (if I remember right).
It will go faster than you think. I agree there should be some sort of secret
handshake or some thing.

Mine is 1/8th, not sure I like it... , wish I had a good set of plans for a windshield
and mounting.
May end up redoing it using the fly baby style windshield, lot of work though.

| Subject: | Re: Fuel Transfer Tank. |
Just got back from my local new Bass Pro, they had a 15 gallon gas tank that was
on wheels like wheeled luggage, with about a 8 ft hose and a filling station
style spigot, looked like you pump it up with air and fill. It was $150 and looked
like it would be ideal for piets. Not huge, but that would be about the
amount you typically need.

Be sure they are plain numbers, not some odd font. We had a DAR (ex-career FAA)
talk at our last EAA meeting about what you need to do to get your plane certified,
and said N numbers are a sore point for a lot of inspectors, they want
them to the regs on size/placement and easily readable, with no adornment or paint
schemes that might make it hard to pick out the numbers from the rest of
the paint job.
Vinyl would make it much easier to change if it wasn't liked.

Thanks, Walt! I know you are right.and I really do enjoy building stuff.
It's just that I have been out of the air since 1984.and I feel the need.the
need for..well, slow.
The good news is that my beloved band saw, a hand-me-down from my recently
departed father, the man who taught me everything about building stuff, is
back up and running. It occurred to me that these things may need a good
cleaning every 30-40 years, and solved all the problems!
Back to rib making...

Truer words have never been spoken. I started my build to fly and have since learned
that its more about the journey than the destination. I never realized it
or the attraction but its true. Even better those words came from my college
student son. Wow such wisdom from such a young person so deep and profound.
The Zen of the build its great so embrace it and enjoy it.

That's just about where I am, started and finished the tailfeathers in
2000.
Now here it is, 2008 and 740 hours later. I'm working on my 3 ft center
section now. It's mounted but will be off again for tank fitting and
installation,
ply covering, etc.
This thing sure does look different with it sitting up there!.I keep
promising
myself I'll take pictures but I seem to spend that time making engine
noises. :-)
