Pietenpol-List: fin offset for Corvairs

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Oscar Zuniga
Yes, the offset for a Corvair or any engine that spins in the oppositedirection from a Continental would require fin offset in the opposite (andprobably equal) direction. Angle the fin to the left side of the fuselage (facing forward) for standardrotating engines and towards the right side (facing forward) forCorvairs-n'-such. Or just leave it like original and like most probably doand just hold a bit more rudder.DouweBig day here, just shot the final color coat on the cowling and I think thespray gods were with me, looks pretty good.Start covering fuselage and tailfeathers next week!!________________________________________________________________________________
