Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Corvair ClinicCorvair Question, A friend of mine has done some research on the Piet after finding out that I was going to start building one for myself. He had asked me which engine I was planning to use and I told him that I was leaning toward the Con o-200. He said, based on his research, that BHP had believed that the Corvairwas the best choice for my plane rather than the Con. To the Group. Did BHP believe that the Corvair was the best choice verse the others he had used? And did he believe it was the best choice only because he never had tried the Con 65 thru 100 hp engines?Thanks, Greg Menoche ________________________________________________________________________________

Les,When you take the venturi out of the carb, it will have the size cast intoits outside surface. It will either be a 1-1/4", 1-5/16", or 1-3/8". Noneed to measure.Chris----- Original Message -----

It will either be a 1-1/4", 1-5/16", or 1-3/8".Mine's the 1-5/16", which is (as I understand it) the next size up from the one that was used on the A65, and supposedly it is for a nominal 90 HP engine. It originally had the 1-1/4" but was changed out in the rebuild.And DJ- yes indeed, the Super Cub is a hoot to fly! I was fortunate to have flown one quite a bit when I lived up in Oregon, and put it into and out of some mightly small patches of dirt and grass. Also put 'er on the top of Table Rock a time or two (not saying exactly where that is ;o) I've never taken off from an aircraft carrier, but I imagine it to be something like the feeling of departing the edge of a sheer drop-off like Table Rock with just barely flying airspeed, and suddenly being at about 3000 MSL. Love that airplane!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.netWatch LIVE baseball games on your computer with MLB.TV, included with MSN Premium! ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Corvair ClinicDate: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 09:47:46 -0400
