Well - Charles is about to get even busier with Piet building. I've sold my Corvair stuff to him and tomorrow the boxes start their journey to his place as the heads depart to Falcon. This guy is on the fast track - that said=2C he's listening to people as seen by his recent spar rebuild decision. A very good call indeed. At first selling my Corvair stuff gave me some heartburn but I'm so happy to see that it's going to a guy who's serious about getting the project going. I however am on the slow track=2C and have traded my Corvair stuff in favor of completion of the airframe. You might say I've robbed Peter to pay Paul - in this case you'd be right. But I'm ok with it. It seems that in the course of this project I've either had time or money=2C but not both. Currently=2C with the recent sale of the Corvair=2C I have money - enough to complete the airframe. With (2) small children at home=2C time is still something that is hard to come by. But I will meet my highly ambitious goal of completing my airplane before the 100th anniversary of the design in 2029. On the way I may even break a record for total length of a project from start to finish. Started in 2001 and much like the Energizer bunny (except with much less energy) I'm still going=2C and going....Charles=2C we all can't wait to see you on the flight line at Brodhead someday - perhaps in 2012?? Keep on keepin on and enjoy the engine build as much as you've enjoyed the rest. It'll be on its way tomorrow morning.Tom B. ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: A momentous day

Hey Jack,It was good talking to you last night. Hope that none of that horrible weatherin Florida moves up to NC. Still having a hard time believing you're actuallyconsidering moving over to "the dark side". Randy's machine must have been prettyimpressive to result in such an about face from you. That 5th bearing seemsto be a real game changer. I suppose you'll build up your Corvair and get itrunning before pulling the A65 out of the Piet for the switchover. I guess I'llbelieve it all when I see it. Anyway, take care. Will talk again soon.BillRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: A momentous day
