Not the only source but the certainly the most comprehensive and
reliable
Clark's:
http://www.corvair.com/user-cgi/main
and a few more:
http://www.larryscorvair.com/
http://corvaircentral.com/
http://www.corvairunderground.com/
Coil switchers are actually from after market racing outfiters:

Hey Micheal,,
Thanks very much!
I know Dan the Fireman from MPLS has used many parts also. I believe he is using
a deep oil pan from Clarks and many other stock items as well. Maybe he can
post some of his parts he found and his source/item numbers.

I am jumping in anew into the airfoil thread out of great interest, and it is likely
that I have missed some of the historical discussion leading up to this
post. So I am asking for "one free dumb question" here to save me a lot of searching
that I am admittedly poor at.
Having just bought a Piet project and staring lovingly at the relationships in
a completely subjective vs. objective manner, it seems to me that it is bordering
on minimal tail volume with the short tail moment and what is a lot of wing
area for an aircraft this size (I haven't figured out yet if the word "petite"
suits here). I think I'll run the numbers on it (like I am sure many of you
have before!) for fun and convince myself one way or the other.
But my possibly dumb question is this - is the low tail volume of the Piet planform,
and the pitching moment coefficients of most alternate airfoils compared
to the original, an issue that limits freedom with airfoil selection for the
Piet? The stock Piet airfoil "looks" like it may have a low pitching moment with
it's crude similarity to some flying wing airfoils. I thought I read somewhere
that this was a point of concern. Mind you the Baby Ace at our hangar looks
like it had it's tail cropped too. Within limits the lower the tail volume,
the narrower the CG margin until you leave the "green zone" and hit the neutral
stability regime or worse, and I realize these aircraft fly stably as they are.
But it is on my mind.

a get there but I'll just have to find a way. I was there for a short trip

| Subject: | Brodhead, And Oshkosh |
Hello guys, Is anyone planning on going to both brodhead and oshkosh? I think
this will be the last time I will be able to make both for many years (planning
to start having kids soon, very soon!). We have the Piet almost ready for
the year. We added a steerable tailwheel, bungee covers, and messing with the
cowling design for cooling air. I have been looking at the front "pit" and sizing
it up for tent, sleeping bag and cooler if I go to OSH this year. The good
thing is Dad will go to Brodhead for sure, so I don't have to haul too much
junk for the whole trip from central Ohio to Brodhead, OSH and back. I would
leave Brodhead sunday AM and leave OSH Tue AM and head for home.
