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.

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.
