KR> Re: wing tip slop

[smwood]

Has anyone bothered to read AC 43.13-1b Chapter 7 paragraph 7-39 and 7-40 
regarding bolt fit and torque for primary connecting elements?  I take that 
to mean this would apply directly to WAF applications.
http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/list/AC%2043.13-1B/$FILE/Chapter%2007.pdf
Table 7-1 sums it up quite nicely.  What part of 40,000 psi don't you 
understand?
I submit the so called "wear mechanism" is due to improperly torqued WAF 
bolts.

Why not go ahead and move it forward and put in a couple small side windows?

  Hi Dan
  That is a good question. The problem is that I already have the rear of the 
  canopy where I want it. If I bring it any further forward the rear frame 
  will start to impinge on my view to the side/rear. I have come up with a 
  plan to build the forward frame out to the distance needed to mount the 
  hinge on. That is the preliminary solution to the problem anyway untill I 
  put some more thought into it.

  Why not put it where you want and build the frame to suit?

KR> corvair College #20

[Mark Langford]

I should mention that there's a $79 fee for attendance, but that mainly pays 
for your meals.  William has historically held these "Colleges" for free, 
but after realizing how disruptive it is to have people drifting off in 
search of lunch and dinner that the meals are now catered.  Everybody sits 
down together to eat.  These affairs are "total immersion" into Corvair 
engine building.

No pressure from me, but a good opportunity for those considering the 
Corvair

KR> corvair College #20

[Mark Langford]

NetHeads,

Here's a reminder that registration for Corvair College 20 ends tonight at 
midnight CST.  If you're considering or planning on using a Corvair engine in 
your KR, you'll get a big head start on it by attending this or another college 
 It might help to know that it's not a bunch of sheep sitting at desks while 
William Wynne preaches to the flock, it's about learning about, building, and 
testing Corvair engines.  Some folks will show up with grungy old engines and 
learn to tear them down, others will bring pristine parts they need "blessed" 
(assessed) by the experts, some will start building, others will finish 
building their engines, and still others will hang their completed engines on 
one of two engine test stands and run them and perform the initial break-in 
under the supervision of William or Roy.There will probably be 20 or more 
engines in some stage of construction spread out in the hangar.  William will 
have impromptu "here's how you do this" discussions as various builders arrive 
at critical assembly points.  

This one's going to be in Michigan at Hillsdale airport (KJYM) June 3rd, 4th, 
and 5th.  Joe Horton, Mark Jones, and I plan to fly our KRs in for the occasion 
(weather permitting).  For more info, see halfway down 
http://www.flycorvair.com/hangar.html .  To register, visit
