for Tom Bowdler and everyone,A few days ago you mentioned Bob Schiffel. I just got off the phonewith my " mentor" Dick Lawson. Dick built Bob's corvair engine. Thisis unique because it has a reduction drive on it that Dick Lawson hadfabricated with his own aluminum castings, machined to his own specs. He has two of these on planes.Dick had mentioned tonite that , when he made some parts , he made anextra. He has a prop hub for corvair, and a cutdown flywheel hsg. ifanyone is interested.Dick is a special guy, he is in his 70's, sharp as a tack, is atoolmaker by trade, licenced AP. Even has corvair engine stuff around. He can even fabricate special parts,without cleaning out your wallet. His first love is airplanes.If anyone is interested I can give phone # , or even address.walt evansfor Tom Bowdler andeveryone,A few days ago you mentionedBobSchiffel.

Mark, Sure, His phone is 973-383-7821 in northern NJ. I know where he lives,but don't know his exact mailing address. You can get it from him.He is a day person, not a night person, so I usually like to call him beforewaltPS By the way, there was some pics on the Pietenpol web page of a guy inBrodhead standing behind a two cylinder engine ,in old garb , I think titled"HAHAHAHA" Well , Dick Lawson built the crankshaft for this motor andrebuilt it to run like it did.He's quite a guy.If you or anyone wants to see these pics, I can put them on theAirCamper.org/users/wevans site-----Original Message-----
