I have barely heard of Oratex. Can't be better than my ice cream ! My gelato is damned good too. I will look into it. Does it get rib stitched? I was thinking on the lines of Dacron and (gulp,here we go again) latex.oh no I said the L word. Back in my ultra lite days I had real good luck with it it was quite repairable held up great in Nevada sun looked really good(like poly tone). And cheap. I hope that the curmudgeons don't curse me but the thought of using dope hasn't occurred to me since the seventies. Way to flammable for my liking. Have you used the Oratex System? Could actually be cost effective will check it out.

The last thing I wanted to do was to cause controversy. Sorry to hit such a touchy subject. I have decided that when I build, it will be kept as close to original(later versions)as possible using modern covering and AN hardware. This is as very time proven airplane you cant argue with success.>> Sent from my iPhone>> >>> On Mar 11, 2014, at 6:44 PM, "Douwe Blumberg" wrote:>>> >>> Hey,>>> >>> >>> >>> Don=99t know if John=99ll publish it, but I feel compelled to write an article for the newsletter.

Pieten-people,If builders and fans have not had a chance to see it, I have a single page on mymain site where all of our Piet and BHP stories are collected. It is at thislink: http://flycorvair.net/2013/11/28/corvai ... ce-page/It is not all Corvair stuff, it has information on the life and influence of BHP,Cabanes and fuel lines, Weight and Balance, mount construction, landing geardesign, props, cooling, box spars, etc. There are 34 separate stories there,a few hundred photos.I like Corvairs, but I am not a zealot about them. I am glad to provide informationto any builder, I don't care what has or will power his plane. I have manyhappy hours behind All manner of Continentals and Lycomings, Radials from PW,Warner, Wright and the Russians, even Olds and Chevy V-8s....(But never a Rotax912)... We even own a Schweizer 1-26 that has no motor at all.If you are a Continental or Ford guy our two webpages still have info you can use. http://www.flycorvair.com/ has pages on carbs, thrust and HP testing, FI and props. http://flycorvair.net/ has nearly 500 stories, many on instrumentation, wiring, flight tests, books and more. Plenty of things to learn there, even if we have nothing for you to buy.-wwRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
