Harvey, I don't know whether these guys are still doing business or not, but in case you need a cylinder, they might be worth a phone call.

Raymond,I am building a GN-1 also with a Corvair engine. It has been my impression thatthe GN-1 is tail heavy so I have been concentrating on lightening up the rearas much as possible. Mine is a building and/or rebuilding of someone else'sproject so I am doing quite a lot of alterations. I would like to know a littleabout your motor mount (dimensions), I have to remodel my motor mount anywayand perhaps adjust it if necessary.Jon Coxwell--------Jon Coxwell GN-1 BuilderRecycle and preserve the planetRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wing on!!

John I'm in about the same boat.I took on the project D.J. Vegh had.it was lightenedsome around the tail I guess,but he also had stretched the fuselage dimensionssome to acommodate a long legged pilot like me.the engine has the flywheelat the rear of the case bolted to the harmonic ballancer and the Corvair manualmentions that causes the engine to have to be farther ahead for clearancei think.anyway if you want to e-mail me off list I could get you some lengthsfrom the firewall to various points.either way-in my worthless opinion-I'llbe glad to have the tank up top both because it will allow more head height,bemore at the CH so it will move less as fuel is burned off and hold more thanthe nose tank.on the plus side I'll have a beautiful aluminum nose tank for salesoon if you hear of anybody needing one.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wing on!!
