05/30/2001 10:07:12 AMHi Tom,Welcome to the list. I'm in the 'late-planning' stage myself, althoughright now everything is on hold until I get moved this summer. Boy, I'menvious of you having all that help nearby! I couldn't agree with Del moreabout the plans - give Andrew a call & go see him to get your set. Get thewhole set, including the 3-piece wing plans, even if you're not sure that'swhat you're going to do; that's what I did & I'm glad I did, there's usefulinformation no matter what configuration you choose.Also, get a copy of William Wynne's Corvair conversion manaual. I visitedhim too & again I'm glad I did. Even if you decide to go with Bernie'sstandard conversion, there is useful information in William's manual(little tips like how to modify the spark plug holes on the inside of theheads to prevent carbon buildup that could lead to detonation, the rightkind of plugs to use, etc.)If you've looked through the archive you will learn that William is oftendifficult to get ahold of, but his conversion is top-notch & he's usuallypretty good about sending out the manual, if not some of the parts hesells. When you get to the point of really working on the motor, you mightconsider making the trip down to Fla. to participate in his no-cost (otherthan your own cost for room & board) conversion workshop over Memorial Dayweekend. I think working with William works best if you make the effort togo to him.Regrads & good luck!Kip Gardner down in the 'northern South'Dept. of Ocean, Earth & Atmos. SciencesOld Dominion UniversityNorfolk, VA 23529Ph: 757-683-5654Bumper Sticker of the Week:"Illiterate? Write for Free Help Now!"(An 'oldie' from the 60's sent by a friend)welcome to the world of pietenpol'ers Tom.I live just across the river from you in new richmondwi. I would definately buy the plans from donPietenpol, or his son lives right here in river falls.you can see his project and pick up the plans at thesame time. It has the plans in it for the longfuselage with all of the new dimensions. It also hasthe split landing gear plans, I also have the flyinand gliding manual, I couldn't imagine building fromthat. the plans are hard enough.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 09:11:13 -0600
