Been away for a while, and have obviously missed something. Pfeifer Sport plans? What is the Pfeifer sport? Google doesn't know, so I have to ask.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair Engine Donation

Hello all,I have a corvair engine in Southern Maryland (desirable serial numbers) which isin good shape. I started taking it apart for cleaning and conversion, when Ihad a change of heart. I am now going with an A65. Before I list it on Craig'sList (just to get it out of the shop), I would like to donate it to a fellowPietenpol Builder, or perhaps a school/group building a Pietenpol. I also haveseveral WW conversion parts and manuals I will throw in.

Fellow Pietephiles:As Brodhead, that other flyin in Wisconsin and the 80th Celebration fast approach, I have started to design my T-Shirts which the "Bratmen of Brodhead" will be sporting this year. I thought I would take a stab at another design or two for the masses. Let me know if there is any interest and I will put them up on CafePress and you can order as many as you want to wear. Also I can customize the photo in the middle pretty easily if you don't like Mike Cuy. I actually think he is okay considering he is one of my greatest friends.

Re: Pietenpol-List: Time Sert, Corvair advise
Original Posted By: shad bell
I really think the answer to all this "what's the best engine", is to decide what engine you will feel the safest behind. After all, that's what supposed to keep your Piet (and you) in the air. If a rubber band engine makes you feel safe, go for it. The advice I'd give is don't believe everything any engine builder tells you. Remember, their trying to sell you something and history tells us that salesman tend to lie, or at the very least, exaggerate. When we talk about how expensive replacement parts are, keep in mind how expensive reconstructive surgery is, after an airplane accident. It's best to worry about things while your on the ground, so you don't have to worry about them while your in the air.The only thing worse than being on the ground on a nice day, looking up into the sky and saying "Oh, I wish I was up there", is being up there and looking down, during an emergency, and saying, "Oh, I wish I was down there!".Gene, in Sunny, Beautiful Tennessee ----- Original Message -----
