Hey John,
As stated in my initial email that started that thread, I thought it be would be
1. interesting 2. encouraging and 3. educational to hear what everybody is doing.
I had no idea what most of us were building until now and it also gives us an idea
of when some of these new ones might "come on line".
As stated before, it is interesting to see the subtle and not so subtle "nuances"
builders are incorporating.

Douwe,
it was all of that, and now with all that information floating around it
would be nice to do something with it. Which was the basis for my comments.
Especially when one builder can contact a nother with a similar
configuration directly to ask a specific question about a technique or design
specific
to that configuration.
No sense wasting a good idea, great information and the potential for great
resource utilization on strictly entertainment especially when some
utility can be had.

Thanks for all the helpful replies. My cooling eyebrows are as per Hans van
der Voort's design, but I may need to do some work with high temp silicon to
minimise air leakage as my test pilot recorded CHT's of 450F during
climb-out on a 72F day. A flat nose probably doesn't help the airflow
either. Still a lot of testing to do before I get the controls.
Thanks again guys.

I have a CHT gauge on my Pietenpol with sensors under the rear spark plugs
of each cylinder head.
Can anyone tell me the maximum temperature that the Corvair heads should be
run at ?
Thanks,

I would like to see pictures of how some of you transitioned the wing tip to the
leading and trailing edge.

You can see the corner of the wingtip in the foregroud of this picture
(ignore me sitting in my fuselage making airplane noises). I mixed
microballoons with epoxy to make a thick slurry and globbed it in place,
then sanded it smooth.

With all this info, isn't there some kind of thing that every one could enter

Gardner,
I would be okay with entering all my information into the database that's
already been created by Jack and if there were a specific format of
information being requested so it became a set of data sheets connected to each
builder for everyone to see. along with the W&B information that Ryan worked
on with WW at the Brodhead weigh in.
That would be a use worthy of the information now floating around on the
card table.
John

do you have the bottom air baffles under the cylinders? also I made some close
fitting plates to fit against the rear of the heads to prevent air escaping at
the back and force it all down through the cylinder/ head fins with the exception
of the oil cooler and tried to close any areas around the outside of that
also.my single temp pickup is under one head bolt nut- when checked on the ground
runs with a good quality heat gun the readings were within 15 to 20 degrees
of the surrounding head surfaces. and mine never climbed over 290 in early
testing.

I made the top of the wing tip bow to be flush with the top of the leading
edge. The bottom of the leading edge was tapered from the last wing rib up
to the bottom of wing tip bow. I also added a filler block behind the joint
so I could radius the corner.

You didn't ask but you will also need to taper the wing tip bow to the
thickness of the aileron trailing edge. My taper starts just past the rear
spar. I made the top of the bow equal to the top of the trailing edge so
all I had to do was make one cut off the bottom of the bow.
