And there might be room for one more person if anyone is interested in joining us. Here's the idea: You make all your Pietenpol metal pieces that need to be welded (cabane fittings, rudder horns, etc) and bring them with you. I'm glad to help if needed but basically, you do all the work. I provide sand blasting, welding (TIG and gas) and powder coating equipment. It could likely end up being a one day effort. If I had done all my parts at once I could have easily done them in one day. Anyway, I have room in the RV for maybe one more person. Your cost: a few dollars for gas if you use the gas welding setup and you feed yourself. But if you want to cook, the RV has everything. Could be a pretty inexpensive trip and a nice way to get your welding done. The holidays are slow for me so I'm thinking maybe the weekend of Dec 4 or 11. Or the weekend of Jan 8 or 15. Not exactly a "Corvair College" but could be fun! And there's nothing definite planned at this point so the dates are flexible. If this is something you might be interested in, let me know off line.

Welding is easy to some, but to most I think it's an entirely new endeavor that often gets hired out. Hope you have some takers...And for any who may never have met Jim, you will be thoroughly entertained, and you will enjoy his easy manner. And while you're there, please keep an eye out for my Craftsman open end wrenches ('GB' will be engraved on each).

Anyone have any ideas as to how to add a foot pedal to the unit, its not designed for one so its going to have to be a creative detailed method as being suggested ,designs, drawings, suggestions anything?
