Just got home from CC 31 in Mexico MO...man, what a great time!

I'd like to make SC if I could. Not sure what I'd bring though; I'm down to about20 bolts before it's all apart and I have the crankshaft out. Nothing to buildas I have to send cores in and so on. Hmmm, maybe just go without engine pieces?Would my wife have enjoy it?--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Corvair College 31

Thanks for that Bill. I printed out your file. You're absolutely correct on theyear 2020, but I just wrote down what he told me. I'm building based on my measurementsfrom page 5. I know those are correct.--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Corvair College 31

Nice photos. I've got about 3000 hours in the T-38 - capable of supersonic. Maybe 100 times faster than the Piet. This would be Tim Taylor's idea of 'more power.' A delight to fly in its realm. I'm going to enjoy my Piet because of its own advantages.Lorenzo =0A ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Corvair College 31

I can bring the case halves and bolts and crank; no problem. Currently taking asecond one apart and I'll bring those also. Would it be worth bringing any otherparts? Not enough room for two engines, so just wondering if I should botherbringing the heads, cylinders, etc.Is there anything for the women to do? Do attendees buy tickets (register) fortheir wives?Johnbdewenter wrote:> Pocono John> > Bring your case halves (with bolts) and crank for inspection.
