Subject: Pietenpol-List: looking for a corvair engineHI,I am looking for a Corvair engine- 110HP -1965-69 preferred letter codes RD, RF, RH, RX, RK. For anyone else looking into this option these are the codes which are recomended by WIlliam Wynne(also available on the Corvair Site). I live in Windsor, Ont., Canada (right across from Detroit,Michigan). I am hoping to find one in the area(Ontario,MIchigan,Indiana,Ohio, and maybe some parts of New York,& Illinois) so I can drive and pick it up(within 6hrs). I would really appreciate any help in tracking one down.ThanksNorm________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2001 17:47:16 -0700

Norm, I'll try to dig up the name and number of the guy I got my corvairengine from. He lives about 20 miles sw of Toledo so he would be closeenough for you. He may have another out in one of his storage areas. I'llsend it to you when I find it.CarlPlease visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl-----Original Message-----

I'm even more sold on T-88Larry, I lurk over on the Minimax group and here is a recent posting regarding T-88 Epoxy. Thought this group might find it interesting.--Integrity of T-88 Epoxy Glue JointsPosted By: John Andre - Chesapeake, VA Date: Thursday, 25 October 2001, at 10:21 a.m.Folks, I have seen quite a few postings here lately concerning epoxy glue joints. Ison Aircraft includes T-88 in there kits and recommends it for plans builders. This adhesive is about as idiot proof as you can get. It is tolerant of not so precise mixing, it forgives those that fabricate loose joint mating surfaces, and it has a wide range of curing temperatures. As you are probably aware, I recently had a "rough forced landing" in some trees that tore up my MAX. My right wing and landing gear took a beating. The wood components of these assemblies were splintered into more pieces than their original components (many more). Close inspection revealed that not a single glue joint failed. So relax, follow the instructions, enjoy building your plane, and have confidence that the epoxy (T-88) will live up to its claims...John________________________________________________________________________________

Moral of the story:A. I'm even more sold on T-88B. Don't use old glue.LarryLarry,I too like T-88. I've used resorcinol throughout most of the structure onmy Pietenpol except for places in the cockpit where it would show(resorcinol leaves an ugly brown stain), or in places where I either couldnot get a good tight joint or good clamping pressure. In those places Iused T-88 and have been very pleased with it. I'm not sure but that I woulduse it throughout if I built another wooden airplane.Jack Phillips________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 23:19:41 -0700 (PDT)

Hello, folks;There was a post in the archives (and a note in the closing notes in Mike Cuy's video) that Vi Kapler makes some stuff for Piets. What I'm interested in is the tach drive for Corvairs. Anybody know if he ever developed that, and if it's available? Also- does he have a flyer or poop sheet on the stuff he sells?Thanks.Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
