Well here I am in Casey IL. Ive been spending the last couple days working on Cleone Markwell's 601HD with Corvair. After performing an annual inspection and some repairs to electrical and other systems we fired it up and flew it this morning. Nice Flying plane. We still have a couple squaks to take care of but hope to have all finished up tomorrow before leaving for Fargo ND for the "Corvair High" I sure the weather doesnt pose a bad problem for me.
On the way up here I stopped by Gardiner Mason's place in La Grange GA and looked in on his Pietenpol/corvair project. He has some nice woodwork and neat ideas about his plane. I signed off his wings for covering and helped him get a few ideas together about cowl and fuel systems. It was a worthwhile couple of hours I hope. If you are anywhere along my route and want me to stop by for a bite or an inspection...let me know. Ill check my emails enroute. I plan to leave ND on sunday and head for Kansas and then into Missouri. FLy Safe guys.. Bill Clapp --------------------------------- Got a little couch potato?
