BlankJust a quick report to let the group know that my GN-1 did survive Hurricane IKE.Labor Day weekend I flew via Southwest Airlines from Corpus to Dallas to bring my GN-1 to its new home. My luck, a few days later I had to take her to Alice, Texas, 60 miles west to an old World War II hangar to hide her from Hurricane IKE that waspredicted to hit Corpus.It is always windy here along the Texas Gulf Coast and when I left here to fly my planeto Alice, I had a 70 degree crosswind at 25 mph. The plane tracked down the runwayand lifted off with no problems. The east wind helped my groundspeed reach 95 milesper hour to Alice. Luckily the wind in Alice was pretty much down runway 31 and theGN-1 touched down without any problems. Great plane in crosswind. The parasolwing helps.Tomorrow (Sunday) I go back to Alice to bring her back home. Looking forward to flight down the beachline.Mike KingGN-177MKCorpus Christi, Texas________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Riblett Print!

Hi Ryan, I did send the core to a machine shop for a dip in the hot tank, thisdid no good and I wasn't even charged for the dip! My partner in building, Dean,and I bought some laundry detergent and went to work with a couple of brushesand a pressure washer, that did the trick. The studs were corroded in the centersto the point where I did not want to fly behind them, I carefully removedthem and obtained a very nice set from one of the guys at the corvair clubin central Florida. I will install these with Loctite 620. I did remove the oilplugs and used my rifle cleaning kit and brushes along with carburetor cleanerto do the oil galleys. Attached is the notation in the left hand corner ofthe print. How's your project coming along? Joser.--------Jose R.

Ryan, where did you get the crank worked on? I have a machine shop close to thehouse and I would like to see where it's at in relation to factory specs. I donot want to regrind it if it doesn't need it. Also did you send it in to Nitron,Inc. to get it nitrided? I'm on the same boat you are in when it comes tosaving the $$$ to send it out. I am planning to purchase new cylinders, pistonsand rods from Clark's. Also a new Otto OT-10 cam, lifters and the heads willalso go to Falcon. I'm just anal about stuff (from my days as an electronicstech with the Coast Guard)! Talk to you soon. Joser--------Jose R.
