| Subject: | GN-1 Landing Gear mount fairing |
Hi Guys,
I am about ready to cover my GN-1 and was wondering if anybody had any ideas
about the landing gear mount fairing. I have added some wood stringers under
the fuse that stop either side of the gear mounts (see page two of the
photos page on the website). Is this area faired or just left as is.
Pics would be useful.
Cheers

Would you have Dick Navrotil's user name so I can get in touch with him? I am new
to this forum and I don't see a way to search for someone by name.
Thanks Much,
BE

Hi Bill
Yes, I am building one, although very slowly at this point. Dave Aldrich,
Skip Gadd and I just put together a set of floats at SNF this year and I am
going to Barnwell SC. this fall to continue work on my engine. I figure I
need to have the Corvair for the power to get it off of the water. If you
have any questions call me at 651-638-0793. I am north of St. Paul, MN.
Dick N.

Flyin at San Marcos was very good.
Lots of neat planes.
Ron Machado's talk on stick and rudder was on point.
Found a Pietenpol being built.
Bonanza formation was competitive with T6 formation.

Coulda used that trick several times in the past ;o) Got a trick for how to get
small brass nuts on the brass screws that are used to mount instruments to the
instrument panel? Those @#$%& things are so small and difficult to start on
the screws back inside the panel while wrapping your arms around the top cowling
to hold the screw head in place... and not able to see any of it (working
by feel, dropping the nut and tiny lockwasher). Space is tight back in there
around the instruments, too.

Peter; I don't think I realized that the GN-1 had mounts that ran under the cockpit
floor like that. My guess is that the simple way would be to just run fabric
over that area and make it taut like the rest. It is quite a wide-open area
to cover without some battens to keep the fabric shape though.
However, you could also wrap a piece of aluminum over the area and screw it down,
which would give you access to the area in the future if it were ever needed
to pull the gear back off. Which, knock on wood, none of us ever wants to think
about (but I have, and so have you). I'm afraid I can't be of much help
since I don't have a GN-1.

| Subject: | West Coast Piet Fly-In |
I've begun to have my doubts about making it to Frazier Lake. Work has been crazy
since about October, with no free time to work on airplane stuff except on
weekends. With the coming of spring, my weekends have been taken up with chores
related to waking up the yard and garden, repairing damage from the winter,
and all that goes with it. Then there was the April 15 tax deadline, the looming
April 30 healthcare enrollment deadline, and a host of other time-wasters
in between.
My carb is going back together and is ready for me to set the float level and finish
assembling it. New front main seal is ready to go into place. Engine is
ready to start back up again, warm up, and run the differential compression
test... then if everything checks out it's out onto the taxiway and runway for
some test flights in the pattern if the engine runs up to full power smoothly
after the carb overhaul. That's at least two weekends for me. Annual condition
inspection has to be done, which is another weekend. With five weekends left
between now and the fly-in, I'm going to be cutting it close to undertake
a long x-c after all this. We'll see how it goes.

Oscar,
Thanks, I had thought of both of those. I even made an aluminium cover for
it was not happy with the look.
Perhaps Ill put it on and see how it looks when finished.
Cheers
Peter
