WW is working real hard right now trying to catch up on orders plus getting
the fifth bearing and crank issues dealt with. I am waiting for a KR mount
as well and believe me - after seeing some of other people's work and some of
the mounts that William and I have had to cut apart and remake - it is well
worth the wait for one of his mounts. They have been tested and mother
approved! Be patient - it is well worth it. Now, if you have a well qualified
TIG
welder build the mount for you, stress relieve it and paint it then go ahead.
There is more that goes into a mount than you may realize. Also
understand that WW's mounts are designed to put your thrust and hub right
where it
needs to be for his KR cowl and spinner. There are a few guys flying with
them
now. Send WW a photo of the airplane with note saying - this is where Im at
and am just waiting on a mount and Im sure you will be higher up on the
schedule. A lot of people want him to build them a mount or an engine and
they
havent even ordered the plans or purchased a plane yet. He tends to get stuff
out to those who are ready for the parts at that time. I know its not easy
when you have the bug but be patient. I actually went down to the Corvair
college and helped out for a couple days and the Monday after the college was
over I cut all the steel for my mount and he welded it up in front of me and
showed me his process of building them and the reasons why he does them a
certain way. A shrude dude!
Remember as well, there are 800 or more of us wanting parts and only one
of him....Call down and talk to him or Merle.
