Hi:
Surprised to see you e-mail....sounds like you've made a full commitment to
a Bus/Coach Conversion and you're parking, stopping, selling or otherwise
quitting on the 601. The NTSB memo have anything to do with your decision?
Have you decided on, located or acquired a shell yet? Any ideas of what
you'll look for or want?
Can I be of any help to you or provide any info on Buses, Converting one or
what have you.
Good luck....it's a long road but very satisfying when completed and a true
pleasure to travel in.
Regards
Bob Fulmer

We are building a 601 with a corvair and a MA3 carb. We have made the most
of the parts to WW design and are trying to make our own intake (because we
like to make stuff), but would like to leave open the possibility of buyin
g the airbox kit.- I am hoping to get the demsion from the lower case bol
ts where the manifold is attached and the flange that the carb attaches to.
- If we have this demension correct, the other parts should fit.- Can a
nyone provide this demension from the center of the bolt hole on the rear c
ase- to the lower face of the carb flange.- Thanks. phill- and Steve
- airvair601 at yahoo.com
ps. this week we built the flanges that attach the intake pipes to the head
using the langfords design ( no photos as I can't figure how to post them)

Hey ALL
i cut fit shaped and welded the oil filler pipe to the valve cover
in the style WW suggested. yesterday i sliced the forward top skin
and installed a rib splitter and instead of riveting i used riv nuts.
this allows me to remove either side of top panel without removing
the entire panel (easier to work on inside instrument compartment)

| Subject: | Can't stop grinning today (Video) |
Yesterday I flew my 601XL from Wahoo, Nebraska to Grand Prairie, Texas. I'm so
proud of the airplane as it performed flawlessly and burned a consistent 5 gallons
per hour the whole way while flying through four states. I met some really
nice people on the way down, stopping at Emporia, Kansas, Bartlesville, OK,
McAlester, OK, Weatherford, Texas and finally Grand Prairie, Texas. I got rained
on a few times and had to dodge some nasty weather but there was a tail wind
the whole way and I cruised at 131 mph ground speed most of the way (115 IAS).
I didn't run into any turbulence during the trip - it was a smooth ride
all the way.
I mounted the camera behind me and turned it on for my landing in McAlester, OK.
This stop was kind of sentimental because in October of 2003 I picked up my
wing spars that Jason Isley made for me in Tulsa and put them on our company
airplane at McAlester, then flew with them back to Omaha. They took up most of
the walking room in the airplane and barely fit in the door. It was a great
thing to fly them back to McAlester installed in the 601. I remember all the
dreaming while I was in McAlester back then and now to live the dream yesterday.
I can't stop grinning about that today.
http://www.cooknwithgas.com/10_5_03_Wingspars.JPG
Here is a video of my landing at McAlester:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZlAZSylTNc
After arriving in Texas I stopped at Parker County airport just outside of the
Mode C veil of DFW to get ready for flying into a control-tower airport. The
controller was super nice and helped me the whole way in.
For those of you in North Texas, I'm hangared at Grand Prairie for now but hope
to be at Midway in Waxahachie when my name comes up on the waiting list.

Scott,
Glad to hear the good news about your flying experiences.
Texas? What happened? Job Move?
It sure has grown down there since I lived there in the 70's. Has Dallas Ft.
Worth grown that far south or is there still a bit of country between?

| Subject: | EIS6000 fuel level calculations |
Could some people post the initial readings when calculating fuel level AuxSF &
AuxOff as well as their 'tank full' reading?
On the worksheet, these will be lines 2, 3 & 6.
I have the fuel level senders ZAC provided (VDO, 10-180 ohm) and I'm having problems
getting them to read correctly on the EIS6000.
Thank you,
Kevin Kinney

Ron - Same company, new position. Moving back to warm weather has all in the family
pretty happy since we are from the South. Eight long winters in Omaha was
a character-building experience. Waxahachie has some wide-open spaces. I
didn't want to live in a subdivision again with houses all around. Looking forward
to a lot of flying to explore the North Texas landscape. There seems to
be several builders here so I'm looking forward to meeting some of them in person.

I (re)powder coated one of the sub-panels on my instrument panel last night.
BTW: if you ever need to remove powder coat acetone didn't touch it but
Permatex Gasket Remover (item #80646) made short work of it. And it's "known
by the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm"!
Today I'm mounting switches and instruments.

Welcome to North Texas. I live in Van Alstyne (about 50 miles north of
Dallas) but my office is in Plano. I will hangar my plane at Sherman Muni.
Haven't done much work on my XL but still enjoy reading about everyone's
accomplishments.

Jay Bannister hangers his "Li'l Bruiser" down South of Town, between your house
and GP. I am up on the far North side of civilization, where the North Dallas
Tollway ends. Danny is 30 minutes farther up the road. There are a couple
of more builders over in Ft. Worth, and a guy rebuilding a damaged 701 at Lakeview
airport (F69).
I haven't moved to a hanger yet but hope to do so over the next couple of months.
The few weeks of spring can be a bit gusty in DFW, but the summers are usually
4 months of calm air with half of those around 100 degrees. It will test the
cooling abilities of your engine and yourself.
Great to have you around!
