Friends,
Today finished with 26 flight hours since last Saturday mornings first flight.
Everything is going well, I have my own prop on it, much and many thanks to Roy
S. for loaning me his so I could keep moving forward. Expanding the flight envelope
now and chasing clouds and following rivers to help determine the airplanes
capabilities.
Speeds are improving as I adjust the feathers and reduce the drag. Having done
a little redesign work with the metal nose bowl and a little different on the
exit, temps were my major concern. I am happy to report the temps are looking
good.
This project would never have been possible for me without all the help provided
by the WW Corvair movement. I am a firm believer of letting others be the pioneers
(and them getting all the arrows) and learning from and purchasing the
products they develop. The Corvair Colleges provide hands on training that you
won't find anywhere else and the Corvair Movement has many winners associated
with it.
So if you need some motivation, keep at it, touch your project every day and make
little daily successes for achieving your dream of flying your own airplane.
My project got sidetracked several times but I managed to get back at it and
kept making forward progress daily. Use the expertise of others and don't be
shy about asking questions.

Big smile!

Every year my church has Vacation Bible School (VBS) for 200+ kids. We go
all-out with activities=2C decorations and celebrations. This year=2C the
theme was "Sky." Mike Robitaille and I filmed a little video in my plane
that we used as a promo. This is definitely aviation related=2C but it doe
s reference God a couple of times. You have been warned! When they played
this video clip in church people actually yelled and applauded!
http://player.vimeo.com/video/45211499
VBS started this morning. I plan to fly over the church area and talk to t
he kids via radio later in the week.
Keep building and flying.

Hi Carlos,
If you are unable to find the plastic you need then please tell me the
part number at McMaster Carr. I can order from them and "Export" it to
you. I will also need you mailing address.
Best regards,
Paul

Paul, thanks a lot, that's very kind of you.
I can source it locally (i.e., somewhere in Canada), but it was just much
more convenient and a bit cheaper to get it from McMaster.
And I also wanted to check they would send it here, as something similar
happened several years ago.
Regards
Carlos

The Sky Tec guys are great! I broke the Al casting on an O-200 starter by using
the wrong bolt thread and they replaced it no charge.
