Looks beautiful Jeff, but I see a real problem. Hangar's too clean. How doyou ever expect to spend hours searching for a tool in such a hangar?Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

I see where I did make mention that one of the reasons I chose theCorvair was "simplicity", but I wasn't suggesting that it was simpler than anythingelse in particular, just that it was familiar, available, etc., and thereforesimpler from my perspective. I don't have any experience with aircraftengines so I can't make that type of comparison.

OK guys,I fly behind a Cont. C-85-12F and have friends who fly what used to be an autoengine. You know like the Model A, Corvair, Model T, yes I said T. I have in-factpersonally flown all three of these and more. The Model T was in Chris EssgardsSky Scout that our old friend Bernie built (yes the original) and theModel A was Gar Williams Sky Scout that Bernie also built. Anyway, to the pointhere. I understand that everyone here is having fun poking at each other (andsome of it is pretty funny) so here is my personal thought. It seems to methat after you take the engine out of whatever car it used to be in, it is nolonger and auto engine. Once it is install in an aircraft I consider it tobe an aircraft engine. Whatever engine happens to be pulling us around the skydoesn't really matter because we all come home the same way. With bugs in ourteeth. If you don't believe me, then start checking everyone's teeth whenthe arrive at the next Piet gathering wherever that may be. You can all checkmine at the Frazier Lake gathering in June.

Since we are now starting to lay blame on people. I gotta blame Gary Booth forgetting me started on this forum. I told him last June that I didn't have timefor this and now I just seem to be checking it several times a day when I'mat work. It's all your fault Gary. BTW, I say Jeff will fly on April 15, 2012.

In my experience it's much harder to find your tools in a clean shop.
