People,  

   

I have made several requests to several places including Flycorvair.com with no responses so I thought I’d make the request here.   

   

I am a member of Vintage Corsa, the Orange County, California chapter of CORSA, Corvair Society of America (cars & trucks). Our chapter is hosting the Great Western Fan Belt Toss this year. It is one of the largest Corvair (car & truck) events on the west coast each year. The ’Toss will be held at the Orange County Fair Grounds on October 31st, November 1st and 2nd. It has been moved from Palm Springs to Orange  County this year to try to give the Corvair more exposure to the general public. The ‘Toss will share the fairgrounds that weekend with a national woodworking convention and the Orange County Market Place. The OC Market place boasts that they are the largest swap meet in Southern California. Thousands of people are expected to attend the fairgrounds that weekend. See our website for more information about the ‘Toss.  Vintagecorsa.com  

   

The reason that I have posted here is that we were wondering if someone wanted to represent the flight segment of the Corvair movement. Is there someone with a flight Corvair engine that might want to bring it to the show? (Could I dream of a fuselage with mounted engine?) If we can get someone, I’ll see to it the display space is free.   

   

If you can think of a local So Cal guy that might be interested in displaying, please forward this email. It sure would be cool if we had a flight engine at the show! If someone wanted to travel to the show, I have a spare bedroom.  

   

Anyone should contact me directly.   

   

Thanks,

Hi Dave,



You might want to get in touch with Rick Lindstrom (tigerrick at the following ISP mindspring.com, you'll need to figure out the address from what is written) who I believe is in California. Also, try some of the other lists such as the 701 or 601 specific lists... someone there might be able to help.



I wish I were closer. It sounds like a lot of fun.
