Hey Dan,
I am always afraid if I push "reply" that everyone will have to read every
single post. Is that not the case?

Depends on how you have your mail client set up - if it is set to
automatically include the previous emails as a quotation, then yes,
people will have some sort of reference to discern what you're talking
about.
That's not preventing you from selecting the text you do NOT want to
send and hitting the 'Delete' key.
For instance, I've left everything quoted from your last email below
EXCEPT that I selected the standard footer and deleted it.

Subject: | Re: Would This Corvair Work? |
What you MAY have there is a good core and probably not worth much more than core
price (maybe $200 US +/-). Essentially, you'll have to completely disassemble
the engine to make sure you have a usable crank, heads and block and then
start over completely rebuilding to aircraft standards. William Wynne's site
has the part numbers for the usable stuff and if any of the major components aren't
on the "list", then the value drops significantly. The stuff like generator,
starter, shrouding, and so on may have value. The prop hub and engine mount
are really questionable and likely not usable.
See previous replies for specifics on individual components.

Subject: | Lambert / Warner Piets |
Hi All,
Just checking in with the group. Last Saturday me and a couple of friends were
half joking about building 3 Pietenpols. We have access to 2 90hp Lamberts and
a Warner.
The idea is still in the "Hangar B.S.ing" stage and all of us have airplane projects
to finish first, but I started looking around the internet this morning
to see what was happening in the Pietenpol world. I'm encouraged by how much Pietenpol
info is out there!
I just ordered a set of Air Camper and Sky Scout plans. I'll wait until they show
up before I start asking a bunch of new guy questions.
Fritz

I got a ride in the Aircamper that Dick Weeden powered with a Lambert (I think
it was a Lambert). That was a very sweet ride! I think it is the best combination
of power, nostalgia, and reliability (?) there is for the Piet. The Model
A is the prototypical Piet engine, but that moderate-sized radial was just what
the airframe needed.

Those old radials will never work or look right! They have never made good
airplane engines. You can contact me offlist for my address. I will
dispose of them for you. They need to be crated properly and shipping paid
in full.
I am doing this for your protection.

Dear FritzW, It is the least I could do. Actually you should build the
planes, mount the engines and cover the planes and then deliver them. Or
better yet, for a small fee I will come and fly them to my hangar. Don't
paint them, I would not want you to waste your time, besides I like to
personalize my planes. LOL
Welcome to the list. Laugh, be thick skinned and learn, no matter what you
decide to build. There are some smart people on this list (me not included)
Those radials would look great on a Piet and should provide good
performance.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Sounds like my kind of group!
I got an email back from Andrew Pietenpol as soon as I placed the order (a good
sign) saying he'd get the plans in the mail tomorrow. I hope to get them by Friday.
I've been lusting over the Piet's for a long time (3 or 4 decades) but other airplanes
always seem to move to the front burner.
...I can really see me in a Lambert powered Sky Scout piddling around the patch
:)
