Can we drop this topic at this point, please? A joke was made. Some enjoyed it,and some did not. Some will always think it is funny, while others will neverfind the joke funny. That is why God created 39 flavors of ice cream. Differencesare what make this world. I would not consider the joke any more misogynistic(woman hating) than I would consider my wife's comment that men can't multi-taskas being misandrystic (man hating).Let's just use this forum without it degenerating into back and forth rants, likemany other forums do. Those forums have ceased to be what they were intendedto be- places for like-minded individuals to meet and discuss. And do so peaceably.I look forward to meeting everyone at Brodhead and discussing the important stuff-flying and Pietenpols!--------Semper Fi,TerryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair case bolts needed

I know a few people on this list have been to more than one Corvair College. Thiswas my first. It went from Friday about noon to sometime on Sunday. I completedthe work I was prepared to do on my engine late Saturday afternoon andwent home. There were people tearing apart old greasy engines on the floor tothose finishing 5 years of work and seeing it run for the first time. WilliamWynne and Roy Szarafinski of Roys Garage were both there and very busy helpingpeople. Mark Petniunas of Falcon Machine was also there helping anyone hecould. These guys were busy and you just had to wait your turn to get theirattention to answer your questions or help with a particular problem you have.The more experienced builders would answer any questions they could as well.Most brought a tool box and the tools they knew they needed to get their enginesto the next phase. William had almost all his parts there for sale. Royand Mark were writing work orders for any machine work you wanted. I had Markinspect my heads and he took them home with him for rework. The food was plentifuland good. The hangar was a great working area. A camping area was setup nearby. I found everyone friendly and more than willing to assist each otherif they could. I left with everything and more than I expected. I highly recommend if you aregoing with a corvair engine to at least attend one if not more during your build.I also would caution everyone to be careful at the colleges. There is acertain excitement that pushes you to make progress perhaps faster than you should.Be selective who you listen to. Guys like me (first time builders)shouldnot be giving advise on such critical matters as assembling an engine withoutsaying "I believe" and "But you better check the manual" with each statement.Okay, is that worth two beers? But alas, I don't drink beer......how about a cokeinstead? John--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
