| Subject: | Corvair College #33 Sign Up Deadline |
I just wanted to remind anyone interested in the next Corvair College, that the
deadline to sign up is this Sunday. Here is a link-
http://flycorvair.net/2015/03/27/corvair-college-33-sign-up-closes-sunday-329-9pm-est/
This is a great opportunity to meet and work with people who truly love airplanes
in general and experimental aviation in particular. Whether you are building
a Corvair, thinking about building a Corvair, or just want to meet some great
people, you should sign up. It will be a weekend to remember, no matter what.
In addition, I plan on bringing my steel tube Pietenpol fuselage there. It will
show the door cut for the front cockpit, and the die spring cub-style gear. If
any of you are thinking about doing that style of main gear, it would be a great
time to break out the tape measure and camera.
I hope that we have a good turnout of Piet people there!

Did the Subject Line get your attention? I hope so.
I spoke this afternoon to Skip Gadd, who is already down at Sun-N-Fun. He and his
wife have gone down there for years helping set up. He has worked in the Hands
On Workshops for most, if not all of that time. He has worked with many people
such as Dick Navratil and (I think) Dave Aldrich from the forum. Typically
they build Pietenpol parts, such as the ribs, the empennage, the fuselage, among
others. I think last year they worked on floats for Dick's Sky Scout project.
Well, this year they have no specific project to work on. So here is where
you come in.
If you have the materials for some phase of your build, but have not had the time,
and can get the materials to Sun-N-Fun, they would like to help boost your
project along by building some portion of your Pietenpol project either for you,
or with you, if you have the time to be there. The Pietenpol has always been
a popular project in the Hand On Woodworking Workshop, and they would like
this year to be no different. These are experienced builders, so they would do
a great job. They would like to make it a win-win for everyone. They get a project
to work on, and you get a big boost to your project.
If you have an interest, please either PM me, or you can email me at jarheadpilot82
(at) hotmail (dot) com. I can then get you Skip's contact info. Skip is having
a little trouble with his internet service, so I told him that I would post
it for him.
I hope to hear from some lucky soul real soon!
