Gary,
If this is an ACS model, they sell a nifty stainless steel bracket for it.
I used theirs and it works great.

While fabricating my rudder bar (4130) and rudder bar post I noticed some
differences between the 34 Hoopman plans and the 32 Flying and Glider plans.
Specifically on page 27 drawing of the ship's control systems; no aileron
control horn, 3/4 connecting bar for the sticks instead of 1/2, rudder
pedals mounted to the firewall and no safety strap over the torque tube to
name a few. I'm sticking with the Hoopman plans mostly.

| Subject: | Re: Corvair - Unsafe at any Altitude |
The thing I personally like about most aircraft engines is the head is attached
to the cylinders, and the cylinders are attached to the engine case, same as
with Genuine Hardley Ferguson Motor Scooters. You can blow the head off a cylinder,
and not be as likely to have a piston or piston rod banging around against
the case, shredding metal into the bottom end of the other connecting rods
as it would be when the head bolts are what hold the cylinders onto the case.
The other thing is the bearings between the engine case and the crankshaft, next
to the prop hub, are large enough to cut down on the crank flexing, which
is what can cause the crank to break. Using the 5th bearing on a Corvair conversion,
or going with a re-drive unit, decreases my 2nd objection, but I don't
care for the head bolts being what hold the cylinders to the cases.
My 2 cents worth.

Did most everyone mount as per plans? With the long fuselage, did you mount
per short fuselage plans? Did anyone adjust fore and aft slightly for
correct fit? The two different plans call for the centerline of the bar to
be between 3" and 3-1/2" above the floorboard. Anyone remember their
mounting height? Higher better? Any input is appreciated!

You can not raise the rudder bar much higher because it will interfere with

fit. Now I am considering the bar again.
As for you other post, follow the 1934 plans. The F&G plans will work but
the the 1934 plans are for the "Improved Air Camper". I figure its just
part of the improvements and he must of had some good reason to change.

Thanks Bill for the link.
I haven't broken the carb down to check the jet or venturi size, but this
particular one does have the mixture control like the NA-S3A1 has.
I do like the simplicity of the Aeroinjector and the fact that it's cheaper than
overhauling what I have.
Once I disassemble the carb to inspect all the parts to see if and what
is serviceable, I'll decide if I'll use the Stromberg or an alternate.

Gary,
Probably to a bulkhead fitting through the firewall below the level of
the carburetor. Take a look at AC 43.13 or Tony Bingillis's books. If
you don't have them let me know and I'll take a run out to the hangar
and look.

Lest anyone think that all I do is defend the Corvair Movement from
the Kracken.
A couple weeks ago I was visiting Chris Tracy and noticed that he had
used a half-round bit to rabbit out the back side of his leading edges.
He made matching male pieces which he located on the front of the ribs,
perfectly locating the leading edges, providing extra glue surface,
lightening the piece of wood (Poplar!!), and generally impressing the
heck out of me. At the time, I thought that was way too much unnecessary
work, but my leading edges went together nicely and I landed on an easy
method to do something similar.
Mine have a square rabbit, 3/8" x =BD", that has a corresponding
locator glued to the ribs. I don't know how Chris located his pieces,
but mine are done with one long piece, epoxied to all the ribs at once,
then cut out one by one with a back saw (that's what I have been doing
today, in between counter attacks on the Kracken). Oh.did I say.my
leading edges are Poplar, too.

Buy just enough, and no more.
Seriously, it is an unanswerable question, since being epoxy, you must
mix
the components, guessing how much you=92ll need for each task. If you
guess
too little, you=92ll have to make more. Depending on how well (or how
poorly)
you guess, you may need one quart kit, or two, or three.
Buy a kit, see how far it goes and buy more before you run out. T-88 is
not
very expensive.
To quote Mr. Pietenpol =93The question of where to draw the line at the
exposition of directions for the building of a ship like this is
difficult
to settle. Some want just a lot of dimensions repeated in the text that
are
a thousand times more eloquent on the drawings, and some would even have
you
tell them how to hold the hammer. And there are a few who, after having
been told how to hold a hammer in the building a ship, would ask you how
many swipes to clout the nails on the head=85=94 (F&GM, page 18)
Good luck!

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Rudder Bar Post
Did most everyone mount as per plans? With the long fuselage, did you mount
per short fuselage plans? Did anyone adjust fore and aft slightly for
correct fit? The two different plans call for the centerline of the bar to
be between 3" and 3-1/2" above the floorboard. Anyone remember their
mounting height? Higher better? Any input is appreciated!
Thanks,
Jack

| Subject: | Corvair Oil Filler Location |
I've purchased an after market part from William Wynne to ease the task of getting
oil to the new 5th bearing. I've lost the stock oil filler port in the process.
I'd like to know how those of you who have a similar setup have handled
it, please.
Thanks,
Kevin
