To Whom it may concern:
We have updated our website, www.magnificentmachine.com, with some technical articles that are aimed at answering the most common questions relating to our products and the Corvair.
Also these articles address some of the more common engine issues and some of the
ways in which we address them.
This section is called Tech Talk and is where we will post all of our Products
Testing Data.
The articles are written by "Uncle Mike" because he is a far better writer than
I am and his engine building experience goes far back to the days of Flat head
engines and probably back to the days of wooden spokes though he won't admit
it. Smile
The First Forged 4340 crankshaft sample is now in an engine case with a cam shaft
and will be running before too long.
This engine will be equipped with our entirely NEW rotating assembly as well as
the rest of our newest products.
The first set of all aluminum Nikasil Cylinders will be installed and tested on
this engine as well.
We will have this engine at the upcoming Corvair College #13 being held In Livermore,
CA.
For further details of the Corvair College #13 event see
www.flycorvair.com or
www.flaglvk.com
Thank you,

| Subject: | Corvair Pietenpol Insurance Question |
Hi all,
There is a guy in my EAA chapter with a complete Piet with Corvair
powerplant that he finished a few years ago. The plane has flown for 3
or 4 hours and he is looking for some people to fly the test period time
off. He hasn't been able to polish up his skills to the level where he
would be comfortable flying it yet. My question is.. when I was
checking into insurance for my Piet project I couldn't find anyone that
would insure it with a Corvair engine, hence my decision to go with a
Continental. I'd love to get in some Piet time in this guy's airplane,
but I don't feel comfortable flying without insurance. Anyone have any
ideas of insurance companies I could call to try to get a policy to
cover non-owner pilots in this situation?
Ben Charvet
(hope to have my Piet finished next summer)

Sorry gang, I've been out of touch for a while and it soundss like the fish
erman didn't go to Belize after all!!!

My leading edge consists of an aluminum tube and no plywood, just false rib
s between the full ribs to keep the approximate airfoil up front. There, th
e cat's out of the bag. I realize that this admission denies me the right t
o call my airplane a Pietenpol since I have deviated horribly from the plan
s. Just another "snowflake" I guess.

Ben,
Check Falcon Insurance.
http://www.falconinsurance.com/
They run EAA's insurance plan as well as are really good brokers and
decent people for that matter. They hold my insurance on the Cub and
have been great to work with. If you try them through the EAA website
you actually call to Oshkosh and the connect you to Falcon.
Best of luck,
