Well it may be more for Crank snappers, but I just finished the first reading of
the Flight Operations Manual William Wynn sent be.though I stubbornly plodded
along without it through my first flights after being suggested by some that
I should get it. I am a true tightwad! Mr. Wynn gave me a call after some discussions
on the flycorvair site and we had a long and great visit over the phone.
he insisted on sending me a manual and did so. I am impressed with the knowledge
and stories from numerous builders in there and it covers so much more
than Corvair issues.great guidance on how and why to do certain things on each
flight and how to inspect and proceed to the next one.information on oil temperatures
and pressures, fuel systems and carburetor types and the problems they
can give.I will read it again. Raymond

We have good friends who live in Anacortes, WA and I do intend to fly up there
to visit sometime (he's a pilot as well). Another builder friend in Port
Angeles, WA and he has a cabin and dirt strip at his place, an excellent
base of operations if/when I go up to the big Arlington fly-in. We also have
friends and family with property and a cabin near Yamhill, Oregon and there is
a nifty sod/grass/dirt
strip very close to their place, the Flying M Ranch. I intend to fly my Piet
in to that strip at some point. And of course good friend Ernie Moreno is in
Independence, Oregon and a visit will be mandatory. I also intend to take some
sailplane instruction out of Montague, California (just across the CA/OR border
from where I'll be living), and what better way to get there than in the Piet.
Lots of fun stuff to do once I get the airplane up there. And no, Steve Dortch,
I will not be moving out of my hangar here at 8T8 anytime soon... too much junk
in there just yet. Maybe early 2012 though.
