I made one 4X14 ft table out of metal stud material. I chose that because it's dead straight. Whatever you choose, screw 1/2" bolts into the bottom of each leg for leveling.

Thanks, Al Lyscars Manchester, NH ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:53:45 PM PST US From: "Douwe Blumberg" Subject: Pietenpol-List: long/short fuselage and painting reg numbers Hey there, I bought my plane as a started project and the fuse was pretty much built. Never really cked if it's the long or short fuse. What is the length of each, and is it measured from firewall to tailpost? Finally up to the color coats in the doping process, thank God the color coats cover better than the silver or I'd be going through ten gallons. It really looks nice and it feels great to see the wings and tail parts in the final color. My question is this. I want to paint my numbers large on the wings. I'm going to use rounded numbers as they were more common in the early thirties until CAA mandated the squared style. What would be a good way to mask a rounded shape like this, especially on a wing which isn't flat between the ribs? what did you guys do?

One thing that makes me wonder...they don't have any links to any builders using their engines or products. the only links to Corvair fliers that they have on their web page, takes you to people who are using Flycorvair.com engines from William Wynne. They bash him, then use examples of people using his stuff to show how good the Corvair is? Now, that's just bad. Tim in Bovey http://venturay.com/engines.html Anyone know anything about these guys?

Nothing wrong with a corvair. I think it's as dependable as any 60 year old continental or 80 year old ford. Just as any engine you rebuild to put on an airplane you have to start with a good core and go from there.
