Yep, I've bitten my tongue for 30 days without seriously disparaging theCorvair as a psuedo aircraft engine.I couldn't help but think about Corvairs yesterday as I flew my Pietenpolover the hills and forests of the Piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina.All I could think of was "Where would I be able to put it down if mycrankshaft broke?" Fortunately, I was flying behind a Continental.As I've said before, if I lived in the midwest with thousands of potentialforced landing sites continuously available, I would probably put an autoengine in my Pietenpol, but it would be a Model A Ford.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC-----Original Message-----
