      Dan,
      
      Greetings and welcome to the Corvair Community!
      I am certain you will be very happy with your choice of the Corvair as your power
      plant.
      I would be more than happy to build your engine for you if that is what you are
      looking for.
      Or if you prefer to assemble it your self I would be happy to put a kit engine
      together for you.
      I have nearly 30 Core engines here at my shop that  I use as parts donors.
      I have my own private label of custom forged pistons made right here in the USA.
      I am also having new 4340 crankshafts manufactured as well as new 4340 Connecting
      rods.
      Our Aluminum / Nikasil Cylinders are still in the research & development stage
      but they have great promise to lighten the engine by 18 pounds!
      
      We also have other products and services available to help you realize your aviation
      dreams.
      
      If you are interested or even just curious, please see my website.

      Hello!
      
      I'm considering powering my bird with a Corvair engine. I have limited
      experience rebuilding engines (replaced a Subie head gasket once) and
      would have an experienced Corvair builder do this for me. I would not
      provide the cadaver or any organs.
      
      To save money, I would be comfortable in assembling some of the engine
      myself. 
      
      Look forward to hearing your experiences, suggestions, and references.
      
      Cheers,
      Dan

      List,
      
      Have the 3300 with FWF kit from Jab.USA.  Have been reading everything I can find
      on "contactors" ( AeroElectric, various Matronics lists, etc.).  Do not understand
      most of it...  so, my question is: Do I need to add one or more "Contactor"
      to my installation?
      
      I am not an EE, nor much of an electrician...just trying to understand what the
      Contactor might buy me.  Planning an all-glass panel, if that makes any difference?
      
      Please don't throw electrical theory at me...I'm just looking for a simple explanation
      why I should or should not consider putting contactors on.  If so, which
      one?
      
      Thanks,
      Mike

      To answer your primary question, probably.
      
      My advice, as someone who had little to no clue about electrical wiring before
      I started and not much more 3/4th of the way through, is find the aeroelectric
      schematic from Bob's book that fits your needs and start with that. If the one
      you choose uses a contactor use it if it uses 2 use them.
      
      If you find you need to make a change to one of the planes post it on the aeroelectric
      forum and then expect them to tell you everything you did wrong which
      will include things that you didn't add or take away from the original design.
      
      Or you can do what I did which is find someone with the same engine and pretty
      much the same stuff in the panel and pester him until he makes you copies of his
      plans and then put his cell and home phone numbers into your cell phone and
      call him at all hours of the day and ask him questions that anyone that ever
      turned on a light bulb really should already know. Be aware that there is some
      limit to the size of steak you will owe this person mainly because cows, even
      in Texas, only grow so large.

      Hi Mike,
      
      Yes, you need a contactor.  I bought the one from Aircraft Spruce.  I 
      probably have the same setup as you - XL with 3300 and FWF from Jabiru USA.
      
      The contactor is a big switch that turns all the power on and off for 
      your electrical system.    It is the thing your master switch 
      connects to.  You can't just connect the battery power to the master 
      switch and forget it because of the large current rating needed. So, 
      instead, you use the contactor to control all the power and the 
      master switch to control the contactor.
      
      A contactor is similar to a starter solenoid.  The difference is the 
      starter solenoid is designed for short term use - while running the 
      starter motor, but the contactor is designed to be on for hours at a time.
      
      Have fun,
      
      Paul

      Thanks Gig, Bob, and Brady :-)
      
      I've been briefly to Brady's site and more extensively at WW's. I'll be looking
      to get some of his manuals/dvd's soon. Subscribed yesterday to corvaircraft.
      Got the confirm email from them yesterday. Setup a username and PW, but can't
      get in. Maybe I have to wait to be approved. Also signed up for the Yahoo group,
      but am also waiting for them.
      
      Cheers,
      Dan

      Hi Mike.
      I choose not to use contactors.
      The main reason to have one is that in the event of a crash, you can 
      disconnect all electricity from the cabin  with the flip of one switch.
       I use a 30 amp switch-circuit breaker on the panel, so when I have it 
      off, there is still power on the wire from the battery to the switch. To 
      be a problem, this wire would have to be cut into and shorted to ground 
      to spark and ignite gas vapors. Pretty far-fetched.
      With a contactor, the battery area  still has power, and gas vapors.
      Have never been able to figure why all of those planes are flying around 
      with all of that extra weight..........................Fred

      Depending on where you live, you might want to consider attending Corvair College 14 in Lowell, MA.  William Wynne will be there along with several Corvair enthusiasts.  It is a good way to learn about the Corvair.  For more info visit www.aerovair.com and follow the links to Corvair College 14.

      An SPST switch only has two contacts.  They can be treated the

      Hi Bill,
      A SPST (single pole, single throw) switch only has two terminals. My 
      guess, assuming you have a three terminal switch, is that you have in 
      your hand a SPDT switch. The best way to fully understand its operation 
      is to use a multimeter and investigate its function in all switch 
      positions. There...just enough to be dangerous!

      I've had it fog up on the ground before the engine warms up enough to  
      make the cabin heater effective. I have a cabin heat system that uses  
      hot water from the cooling system. It includes two air vents on the  
      dash to blow heated air on the front of the canopy. I would definitely  
      recommend including a windshield defogger vent in your cabin heat  
      system.

      Hi Alan,
      I've experienced this and probably every other 601 owner has as well. 
      The one quickest way to clear the canopy of fog
      is a microfiber towel. These will not hurt your plexi and are 
      recommended for cleaning and polishing the canopy. They
      are found in rolled packs at Farm and Fleet and can be washed without 
      loosing their protective qualities.
      I keep one on my back shelf for just that fog occasion. It's quicker 
      than anything.

      For a SPST switch, the power comes in on one terminal and and out the  
      other when the switch is on. As far as functioning is concerned, it  
      really doesn't matter which terminal the wire are hooked to, the  
      switch will function the same. For a DT switch, the center terminal is  
      usually the common terminal and the hot wire is connected there. Just  
      for the sake of uniformity, to make troubleshooting easier at some  
      future date, it's a good idea to connect the hot wire to the center  
      terminal on both types of switch.

      SPST? A SPST switch only has two terminals so it doesn't matter what way you
      wire it. A SPDT  (D for "double") has a center terminal and two outer
      terminals. The common "pole" is the center terminal. But use an Ohm meter or
      test lamp to check which of the outer terminals is connected to the center
      pole for which position of the toggle. Depending n the switch's mechanical
      internals it can be the side the handle is on or the opposite.

      No, it's only two terminal. I'm just doing a final review of my wiring 
      before mounting the panel. No big deal, if the terminals work the other way 
      I'll just pull the connectors off and reverse them.

      Hi Bill,
      I used a thin lightweight carpet that can be used outdoors and it was 
      glued to
      the 1/2-inch soundproofing on the floor. That really made a considerable 
      noise
      reduction having the soundproofing on sides firewall and floor. I've 
      since put
      soundproofing on the outside of the firewall too, but my engine is a cooler
      element within the cowling. Don't think that would work for air cooled 
      engines.

      Bill:
      I found very light weight indoor/outdoor carpet at Menards Lumber Yard.
      
      Very nice, easy to fold and cut, comes in light blue and grey.  Very
      reasonable price.

      Ya, just go to your local hardware store. Ask to see the outdoor carpet.
      It's polypropylene (I believe) and is very light, easy to cut and glue and
      has a dense weave and is tough to boot.

      Well, Brady is only about 90 miles away in Poulsbo, WA (although Seattle is
      in the way). He has had his Corvair running. I don't know if it is on his
      test stand or his plane right now.
