CC13 is right around the corner, literally a week away. It will be hosted by William Wynne, the Corvair Authority www.FlyCorvair.com and First Light Aviation aka FLAG, (located adjacent to Livermore airport- LVK, Livermore CA. www.flaglvk.com ) Sorry guys, Grace Ellen is staying home this time. :( But Cory Emberson (KITPLANES babe) will be milling about, maybe even getting greasy. And for equal time and so that I'm not labeled as being TOO sexist, KITPLANES hunk Rick Lindstrom will be there to entertain the ladies. Here's a link to the event: http://web.mac.com/flaglvk/iWeb/FLAG/ccol.html Even with the lack of driving instructions on the website (Rick!) getting to and around the commercial complex shouldn't be too difficult. I'm sure there will be signs posted so no one gets lost. I hope their address is in my TomTom database as the entire crew from CONTACT! Magazine (well... me and John Moyle) are making final preparations to be in full attendance. We'll be bringing our engine test stand and making it available for anyone to use. The engine that's on it now, suffered a catastrophic failure of the accessory end of the engine; the ring gear is tracking almost 2" out of line and it's not bent. So that engine will come off and be busted down to find out what happened. During a past tandem-wing gathering we ran some vibration studies with this engine and it showed some anomalous readings which COULD be an indication of a failing crank. You can see the telemetry wires in this photo: www.ContactmMagazine.com/Fly-Ins/LVK_2005/Vibration-Study.jpg Hopefully we can learn something from it. Once the engine is removed, it's entirely possible to install 1-3 different engines on it and be run up during the weekend, if we all pull together. This should be a KILLER event. It's very rare to have a Corvair College west of the Rockies (only three to date) so if you are even remotely interested in Corvair engines, or are just hungry- there will be tons of food available... but you have to pre-register to partake: www.tinyurl.com/CC13-Registration Be there or be square!

I'm wanting to contact Matt and Mark Berger about their plane. Does anyone have an email or phone number for them? Hope you're all well! NX799B is chugging along. Engine mounted, hooking up instruments and getting ready to run fuel lines. What is everyone's thoughts on using flexible lines to the tank as William Wynn suggests so that they won't yank off as easily as rigid lines in the event the center section displaces in a wreck like his.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: matt and mark berger Hi Douwe I made the change to flex lines after Will told me of his experience. Anything I can do to not get splashed with gas I will do. Mine isn't flax all the way, but there are flex point to keep from lines breaking.

Not planning to bring or otherwise work on your engine during the event? Have a nice cache of WW parts, parts from Clarks or Corvair Underground, or some nice clean stock Corvair parts- nitrided crank, reworked cylinder heads, etc? Please consider bringing them with you. Someone working on completing their engine may need to borrow yours to complete their project. Stuff happens. As an example, during CC#5, someone broke a ring while installing it. I had a set reserved for myself that I wasn't using. I loaned them my ring and they mailed me a replacement when they got home and ordered one from Clarks. Thanks!
