We just got in from taking Kevin's flight instructor and wife out to dinner to celebrate. During dinner, we had a discussion about the percentage of folks that take checkrides in taildraggers these days. We were debating whether the number was even 1 in a thousand. I certainly didn't. My airplane checkride was in a C172. Maybe some of you folks have some sense of this. Again thanks. I've been passing along your comments and encouragements to Kevin.

(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC AEROSPACE CORP]" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Ken Bicker's 17 year old son passes Private Pilot Exam ! Now there's some GREAT NEWS Ken and what a proud day that must have been fo r you yesterday afternoon when your son received his Private Pilot rating. Good for LIFE now ! How many other young peo ple at 17 can say that they are FAA Certificated Private Pilots these days ? So many young people are not taking advantage of the wide op en field of flying, aviation, and aviation related careers that are blossoming worldwide. I know it is n't a trivial matter to finance a private rating but in the big scope of things you can't buy a low end Kia for what you can get your private tic ket for these days and the car will rust and fall apart but your son's private pilot rating will never fade. He'll have it for life. What a day to celebrate ! At the end of 2008 there were only 613,000 Ce rtificated pilots in the United States of America and only 223,000 of them held Private Certificates. (well now 223,001 :) According to th e US Census Bureau our current population in the US is 310,994,608 people so that means that there is only ONE Private Pilot for every 1,394 people l iving in the United States. To me that's very, very special and to be 17 and have that accomplishment u nder your son's belt must be a really proud moment to you, him, and your family !

The Upper Throttle Body has the NA-S3/B and the Main Body has a parts list number of 380167-3. I have found lots of information for the NA-S3A1 carb like the Overhaul Manual, Parts Manuals, but I cannot figure out what the difference is between the /B and the A1. I'm disassembling it to find out the venturi and jet sizes to make sure they are correct for the C85. Don't worry Gary, If Jack replies today, It will be Corvair friendly.

I finally broke down and purchased a new VHS / DVD player so I could watch all my Piet videos, Corvair building tapes, etc. The old player had keeled over about a year ago (and I'm cheap; OK!) Anyway I thought it would be a great break in for the new unit to record Mr. Cuy's VHS tape onto a more durable DVD since the new unit is capable of doing that. When, what to my chagrin - some nefarious scoundrel stole all the video off my tape and left only static behind. And Mr. Markle hasn't even visited me yet. WHAT AM I TO DO? Mike. Do you still have that video available? Maybe you've even upgraded to DVD format by now. If you still have them, I will be in the market for a new one.

He's very knowledgble on carbs, and they have Stromberg parts. Cost of O.H. is $795 plus parts (float needle $139, float needle seat $157). I decided to go with a new Aeroinjector "carb" on my A65. They have 3 different sizes that cover different h.p. ranges. They are only $395. They will not ice up so no carb heat is needed. They will not flood. One or two blades to start. They offer a4"DiaX2.75 " air filter that mounts on the bottom inside the cowling (don't use ram air intake as it will make the eng run lean). No primer needed! They have no bowl or float valve to stick or leak. Aero Conversions Products (aeroconversions.com) (920) 231-8297 ask for Mark Schaible. The guys in our area that have them swear by them.
