Subject: Pietenpol-List: used, good condition A-65 starter for sale. It weighs nothing and costs nothing and it hasn't broken yet. I hear the ModelA uses the same kind of starter. Seriously, for us full-figured girls having more power would be GREAT. I've oftenfantasized about having an 0-200 someday. I can easily see why the power of the Corvair is SO popular plus lots of guys don'tfeel like hand propping and some need the electrical system to support radios andtransponders to get in and out of controlled or under controlled airspace environments.I can especially see guys like Tom S. in Texas and Gary B. in CA having to flyin hotweather conditions. I can especially see Rick Holland needing the power at his high elevations in Coloradowith that thin air. As much as I rag on the auto engines I can certainly seewhy it isa good option for lots of you guys.

I'll second what David suggests... beefing that area up. It's not a reflectionon how smooth the engine might run (Corvairs being quite smooth), it's that theeyebrow leading edges are just inches aft of that prop, which delivers pulsedair past the eyebrows continuously. I've repaired several cracked pieces on41CC's cooling eyebrows due to the propwash pulsations. Metal fatigue, plainand simple.--------Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXAir Camper NX41CCRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:26:17 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: used, good condition A-65 starter for sale.
