Hi BillYes, I am building one, although very slowly at this point. Dave Aldrich, Skip Gadd and I just put together a set of floats at SNF this year and I am going to Barnwell SC. this fall to continue work on my engine. I figure I need to have the Corvair for the power to get it off of the water. If you have any questions call me at 651-638-0793. I am north of St. Paul, MN.Dick N.----- Original Message -----

Coulda used that trick several times in the past ;o) Got a trick for how to getsmall brass nuts on the brass screws that are used to mount instruments to theinstrument panel? Those @#$%& things are so small and difficult to start onthe screws back inside the panel while wrapping your arms around the top cowlingto hold the screw head in place... and not able to see any of it (workingby feel, dropping the nut and tiny lockwasher). Space is tight back in therearound the instruments, too.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: GN-1 Landing Gear mount fairing

I've begun to have my doubts about making it to Frazier Lake. Work has been crazysince about October, with no free time to work on airplane stuff except onweekends. With the coming of spring, my weekends have been taken up with choresrelated to waking up the yard and garden, repairing damage from the winter,and all that goes with it. Then there was the April 15 tax deadline, the loomingApril 30 healthcare enrollment deadline, and a host of other time-wastersin between.My carb is going back together and is ready for me to set the float level and finishassembling it. New front main seal is ready to go into place. Engine isready to start back up again, warm up, and run the differential compressiontest... then if everything checks out it's out onto the taxiway and runway forsome test flights in the pattern if the engine runs up to full power smoothlyafter the carb overhaul. That's at least two weekends for me. Annual conditioninspection has to be done, which is another weekend. With five weekends leftbetween now and the fly-in, I'm going to be cutting it close to undertakea long x-c after all this. We'll see how it goes.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 16:39:47 +1000Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: GN-1 Landing Gear mount fairing

Don't forget that the strut bracket goes from the outsideto inside plates across the fuselage bottom between thefuselage and your nice new legs.I see a tent in the backyard. Soon. :-)ClifCounting days! :-)Those who are operating on wood gear legs.... Did you glue the spruce legs to the ash blocks or did you rely on the steel fittings and bolts to make the connection?Yes I know, small work space but it's warm, dry and ten steps from the kitchen!Scott Knowlton.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>> Sent from my iPhone-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------No virus found in this message.Checked by AVG - www.avg.com________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 1 May 2014 16:42:30 +1000Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: GN-1 Landing Gear mount fairing
