I did go with a wood fuse... I just "Perez'd" the longerons and braces by roundingthem to give the impression of steel tube, therefore offering the worst qualitiesI possibly could... heavier AND less strength.

Pietenpol-List: Corvair engines for sale-ABE
Original Posted By: "Clif Dawson"
There's a couple of engines for sale in Allentown, PA. Send me a note if you wantthe contact info. One engine is a '65 RH. The other is a RM however, he alsohas 110 heads you can use to swap out with. As a matter of fact, being a bigcollector of Corvair's, he has a lot of parts around.I may be slow to respond if you write, but I will respond. Below are pictures Itook, first the RH then the RM.The photos are in reverse order from the way I added them, so look at the filename to verify if you're looking at the RM or RH.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/rm4_ ... __________

Re: Pietenpol-List: RE : Under camber
Original Posted By: Matt Dralle
So why does the "FC-10" airfoil have this undercamberanyway? After all, it is a bit more difficult to build ribsand cover the wing. Do you really think someone as smart as BP would do this if he hadn't found itnecessary? The undercamber makes for a lot moreslow speed lift. Something to compensate for theFords low horsepower. He built and tested a numberof wings with other airfoils. None were satisfactory.This one was.Here's a little something from our esteemed TransportCanada that you can play with.We all assume that the Ford is forty hp but apparentlynot;http://www.amuffler.com/dyno/dyno1.htmClif I agree with John. Without the under camber, it's a different airfoil. Might have better characteristics - might have worse but it's different. Matt PaxtonNo virus found in this message.
