I sent back a stainless exhaust to RevMaster because it just wouldn't fit. Today the Great Plains exhaust arrived and it looks like it must be mounted BEFORE the nose wheel mount is installed. From the aspect of maintenance, this seems like a lot of extra work anytime I'm going to remove/ rework the engine installation. If you are running a 4-1 on a tri-gear, what is your secret? Thanks!

The Corvair folks (including three that are flying now, Makish, Lester, and Clapp) are using an engine mount that puts the thrust line 2.375" below the longeron, and it seems to work fine.

I'm sure you'll get lots of replies on this, but it's best (my opinion) to start out with only what you'll be using in the first 6 months or so... your wood and glue. I'm almost certain the majority of replies will recommend that you get your spruce from Wicks, although I've had good service from Aircraft Spruce and others as well.

Congrats Mark. Last night I was thinking that might happen. He could probably tell that you built a good one. As for the grin, I'm very sure that the grin will disappear when you guide that bird to the end of the runway and push the throttle for that first take off. However, shortly after that, the grin will reappear, and it will probably last for a long long time.

Congrats again Mark. I probably should change the title of this thread to Details and Tuning. I finished and sealed the baffles today, applied Fiberfrax to my cowl, shaved my Revflow needle again and ran the engine. Today I was able to get 3150 and 32. I have reached the limits for the needle that I am using and after the run I talked to Joe at Revmaster for a few minutes. He agrees that the 34 mm venturi is sufficient for the 2366 plus turbo and said that he could carve me a needle that will work better. All I have to do is to tell him what the present needle is doing and he can grind me one that will work. I have quietly been making all my runs and adjustments with the fuel tank at a low level. I feel that the engine must be able to make full power for a go around with a low fuel level. I know that the head pressure will go up with a full tank. I can always adjust the mixture to provide a leaner burn. On my run today, the temps were in the normal range and with the sealant applied, I should have no problems keeping the engine and oil cool enough. I started attacking the list of things to do prior to flight. I have high hopes of getting off the ground before the weekend is over.

I was suspect, along with a couple of others that the DAR, if he knows anything at all, would pass your work. Please resist the very real temptation to "RUSH" into the air. It's taken this long to get where you are now, a few more weeks or months won't hurt a thing. First flight would be a great Christmas present. Congratulations. John Roffey P.S your welcome. ------------------------------ Message: 25 Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 17:39:10 -0600 From: cartera Subject: Re: KR> DAR visit To: KRnet Message-ID: <41365D9E.6080204@spots.ab.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Hi Mark, Wonderful!!!!!!!

You are just not gonna believe this, but I am now the very happy owner of a pink "Special Airworthiness Certifcate for N56ML!!! It didn't even involve Amber Bock, but I DID buy him lunch at Arby's. I have a fairly short list of stuff that he reminded me to do, but still a fairly long list of stuff that I really need to do before it can fly. But all the sudden I feel a whole lot closer to flying this thing. What's it gonna take to wipe this grin off my face? yeeEEE HAAaaa...

I appreciate the vote of confidence. I think he liked the plane. I knew I was going to get lucky when he walked in and started looked for a table to spread out his paperwork on! The only thing he made me do was operate throttle and mixture while he watched the carb. Placards were vital, and I did them all last night by printing out the labels on some Avery "Clearing Mailing Label" stuff from Office Max ($20 for 25 sheets). He spent half the time looking at my plane as he did my buddys' RV-6 and Baby Lakes. He had no real squawks. I took notes of what he wanted me to do before I fly it: * screw the data plate on it (pilot side preferred) * write up an "equipment list" of exactly what was (will be) on it when I do the final weight and balance * install a compass correction card when I'm able to make it to a compass rose * put a redline on the airspeed indicator (a Sharpie took care of that one on the spot) * wrap a little safety wire around the throttle cable so it won't slip through the p-clamp later That's it. But before you guys start saying "then you should be flying it tomorrow", half my nuts haven't been tightened, much less torqued, the wings are still in Smooth Prime leaning up against the wall, no carb heat yet, shoulder belts still not installed, rudder and tailwheel cable not installed, flap motor not wired up yet (he didn't mention the lack of an indicator, so that might not get done until later), aileron cables installed, wheel alignment shims installed, oil separator, etc, etc, etc. But the neat thing about all of this is the new attitude that I have. Before, it was "gee, I'll have to do THIS before inspection or THAT before inspection", and now, all I HAVE to do is what I NEED to do to fly it. I think this shaves a considerable amount of time off of finishing up, if for no other reason, because I'm fired up to the max! Thanks again for the support!
