Subject: | Corvair Engine Update |
Of course it leaks oil. It's a Corvair! My 1966 Corvair always leaked oil,
even when new.

Glad to hear your up and flying Kevin. I am waiting on some parts for the
annual and should be flying by sunday or monday. Our pan leaks at the rear
end also, we had a stock pan, now a Wynne pan and same leak, if I get bored
enough one day I will take it off and put some rtv and a new gasket on
there, it only leaks when the oil warms up due to running the engine, or
even hot 90+ degree days the ambient temp thins the oil enough to leak out.
Just a nusiance not really a big deal.
Happy Flying

While I was flying in January, Fat Bottomed Girl ate an exhaust valve. With
the plane down hard I took the opportunity to add the 5th bearing. I've
already mentioned all this. This is what I've learned in the process of
making the repairs/changes:
- The state-of-the-art valve job has given me another 100 rpm. Nothing else
changed except for adding the 5th bearing,
- Installing the 5th bearing was fussy. The Wesemans were great. Nice
people and great support. So far it seems to work fine. I'm hoping I
didn't screw up the install! Will know soon enough,
- I have the stock oil pan and it has always had a small leak at the back.
Now I have a small leak at the front where the new front cover attaches.
Not much oil but messy. I'm trying to solve that.
- I have better instrumentation now then I've ever had. One of the concerns
with the 5th bearing is oil pressure. Some people install high volume
pumps. Once I muddled through some gauge drama the pressure numbers proved
to be in spec, though on the low end.
- I actually know my oil temperature now. Not sure I had a good handle with
the previous setup. It gets a little warm on extended climbs on these 100
degree days, but nothing unusual. Again, in spec.
Central Tx has had an extremely windy spring. The weather called for winds
gusting to less than 25 today so I played hooky and went and flew. 2.2
hours. Made me feel better. Been frustrating not flying for the past
several months.
Subject change & rant: I watch the corvaircraft list. I've posted or been
mentioned there a handful of times. In all cases I've been met with
deafening silence. Any responses I get are off list from my Piet friends.
Ironically, a dude asked the same question today that I asked a few weeks
ago. Silence for me, answers for him. Given that I've got more corvair
flight time than probably 98% of the people on that list, that's pretty
frustrating. My point? Piet people are great and I appreciate my friends
here. At least you'll talk to me!

If it'll make you feel better, take a peek inside the cowling of N8031 at Brodhead.
That'll put your itty-bitty only on a hot day oil leak into perspective.
My A65 weeps oil just about everywhere. Granted, it's about 30 years older than
your 'vair engine, too.

Subject: | Re: Corvair Engine Update |
There are a lot of things we work with that tend to stick to skin and
leave visible traces for a long time. Recently I was priviledged to be
able to take the EAA Sportair workshop on fabric covering. This yielded
some very valuable information, not the least of which was how to protect
your hands during the preping and painting process. Our instructor
introduced us to a product called "Invisible Gloves" which you put on like
hand cream and it eventually just seems to disappear, leaving a protective
barrier on your skin which is proof against all sorts of nasty things like
Acetone and MEK. When you are all done it washes off with soap and water.
Best part, it does not affect your sense of touch at all. Sticky things
like Poly Brush still stick to you but can then be pealed off or washed
off.
I have not been able to find the stuff locally but it is available from
Aircraft Spruce at a very reasonable cost.

It WILL seal fuel, oil, and anything else you want, and it has sealed
leaks where nothing else would work. Beware, if you get it on clothes, it
will never come off (it barely comes off of skin).

Gene the I was talking about is approved for crankcase assembly on all Lycoming
engines with no gasket at all. I was not implying that it should be used as a
gasket sealant although I know a diesel truck shop that uses it to seal joints
in transmissions and differentials in lieu of gaskets. The Permatex Form-A-Gasket
is a good product.

Subject: | Gusset Question and Possibly a Photo |
Hi Everybody,
I have my fuselage jig ready, and my shipment from Aircraft Spruce has arrived
with both the spruce and plywood kits. I see that the gussets are made from 1/8"
plywood, but noticed the plywood kit doesn't come with that size. Am I missing
something (highly likely), or do I just need to order some 1/8" (just as
likely)?
On a side note - this just kind of happened when I was making blocks for the jig...
Thank you,
Lowell

This is alarming
Beer contains female hormones! Yes, that's right, FEMALE hormones!
Last month, Montreal University and scientists released the results of a
recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.
Men
should take a concerned look at their beer consumption.
The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain
hytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.
To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 schooners of beer within a one
(1) hour period.
It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects, yes, 100% of all these
men:-
1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional
6) Couldn't drive.
7) Failed to think rationally, and
8) Had to sit down while urinating.

Subject: | Re: Gusset Question and Possibly a Photo |
Well, I was puzzled when you referred to the "plywood kit". So I took a look at
the ACS website, and found what I assume you ordered. Yowza - $1100 worth of
plywood sheets! I guess the most important thing is that disclaimer at the bottom,
where ACS says to refer to the plans and verify sizes and quantities prior
to ordering.
How did the list maker come up with 5 full sheets of 1/16" ply? (I calculate one
and a half sheets for the whole plane)
And why is one sheet mahogany, and the other four Birch?
And where did the 3/32" ply thickness come from? The only place that I can recall
seeing 3/32" ply called for in the plans is for some spacers in the 3-piece
wing (maybe a couple of square feet). In the Pietenpol plans, the fuselage sides
and gussets, and seatbacks and panels and empennage gussets all call for 1/8"
ply - not 3/32".
And what's the half sheet of 1/4" marine ply for?
Makes me wonder what aircraft that plywood list is actually for. I seem to recall
hearing something about some wood kits actually being suited more to the GN-1
than the "real" Air Camper. I haven't seen GN-1 plans, so I can't say if that's
the case.
Once again, it seems that it's always a good idea to work out the materials list
on your own, rather than trusting someone else's quantities.

...And thereby explaining why one would use locally purchased Poplar, plywood,
hickory and fir. I have about $700 invested in ALL my wood, including hickory
struts and gear and hickory prop.
Now, some will say that counting $$ on an airplane is a foolish waste of time...but
why throw $$ at someone who's going to ship you something you don't want
or need, then get pissed off? My wood purchases have among the most pleasant part
of my project!

You know, Gary, if you chose your local redneck wood with the same care you've
built the rest of the airplane, you have no issues!

Hey, thanks for all the info and lively discussion! I'll send an e-mail along
to the folks at Aircraft Spruce, and I'll learn to trust my instincts more when
reading disclaimers. I'm actually not mad - it's all beautiful wood, and if
I can make a Jenga set out of the cheapest stuff at Home Depot, just imagine
what my Monopoly board will look like!
Thanks again for helping out a Tri-Pacer guy.
