Pietenpol-List: Corvair engine package for sale

To:pietenpol-list(at)matronics.comSubject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair engine package for saleI just listed a "firewall forward" sale item on Barnstormers.com. I am sellingthe engine, cowl, prop, engine mount, and electrics from a project I recentlybought, since I already have a Continental planned for the aircraft. You'll findit if you search "Corvair angine package".The engine is converted per BHP's specs, has something like 40 hours run-in timeon a test stand, and no air time. The molded cowl parts were done on BHP's originalmold. The builder was keen on authenticity throughout the entire project.Please take a look. We're planning to make the drive down from Ontario to Coloradoto pick this up somewhere in April, likely later in the month. Ideally fora US customer we would dismount the engine etc. while there and ship it fromCO. Makes for a lighter trip home and fewer questions at the border.I hope I have posted this in the spirit of the forum guidelines - it's the onlything I have for sale, I'm not a peddler.

John,Mine is .080" thick plexiglass. Seems to work fine although it wouldn't hurt tohave .125". The thinner is easier to work with I suppose.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair engine package for sale

Mine is 1/8th, not sure I like it... , wish I had a good set of plans for a windshieldand mounting. May end up redoing it using the fly baby style windshield, lot of work though.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Fuel Transfer Tank.
