One last word on the upcoming Alamo City Corvair College this Saturday, Jan. 18th... it will be held regardless of weather since we'll be indoors at Lew Mason's hangar/shop. Right now it is forecast to be clear and sunny with a high of 61F on Saturday, so no worries. If the storm causes road delays for William and Gus (they should be on the road headed this way from Florida right now), we will still have the workshop and I'll try to strip some threads or maybe over-torque some nuts or something to keep folks entertained, but everyone can continue to plan to attend. Do dress warmly, but in layers since it will be warming up as the day wears on and you can build up a pretty good sweat trying to un-seize those old frozen engines ;o) William is supposed to pick up a running engine from a CorvAIRCRAFTer along the way to put on his test stand and run during the College, so here's your chance to hear and see a Corvair whip up some Texas buffel grass.Detailed info with maps is on the website at http://www.corvaircraft.com and detailed driving directions at http://www.corvaircraft.com/Corvair/Ala ... tions.html and we should get rolling by 8 AM on Saturday!Reminder on things to bring if you'll be working on an engine or subassembly: rags, carb cleaner (it's only $1.59 a can so bring plenty), hand tools, and your rebuild parts. We'll have work tables, chairs, and specialized tools needed to do the work. Coffee and donuts in the morning, and lunch at noon... all will be 'no charge' to those who show up, sign the guest register, and refrain from hooting when I strip out a critical set of threads ;o)Hope to see y'all there! My cellphone is (210)213-9936 if anyone needs to reach me.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
