 Posted: Mon May 01, 2006 7:08 am Post subject: Corvair Dual Ignition toggle Information |
 |
|
My message was intended to assist those folks who have
made the choice to install a corvair engine in a
601XL, not to start (or re-start) a debate. The
information I posted is important to those builders at
this point in construction.
Comments like the one below have no place here and
provide no service to anyone.
In the spirit of being helpful, I have posted many
pictures of my corvair installation at
www.cooknwithgas.com where you won't find negative
comments or bad words concerning engine or airframe
choices made by hard-working people who desire to
build an airplane.
Have a nice day,
Scott Laughlin

part of his customer's system is the customer gets
such a zealous following.

Scott,
I understand how you feel. Paul's comments are not really germane in this
forum - yours are and I do not have a corvair engine.

Heck, there are guys out there actively looking for Model A engines to put
on their Pietenpols! But I still would not call that "resurrecting" an
engine. All we're trying to do is build an airplane, for a variety of
reasons; cost, nostalgia, design appeal, etc.
As for WW calling the "customer" a weak link - I guess I would have to
agree. The design is tried and tested. The engines and props are tested. The
theory of flight is tested. The only thing untested is each individual's
ability to build something. My guess is that William makes those kinds of
comments to remind us that we need to check and double-check, even
triple-check, everything we do. We need to recognize the fact that we are
the wink link.
Scott, your contributions are numerous and positive. Thank you!

Scott,
Thank you for sharing this information.
I am not going to get into the systems layout debate, or scrutinize the
possibility of a switch failing, but I am going to caution listers against
one major sin: insulting individuals, by name, that they have never met or
spoken to in person.
William Wynne is not a salesman. He has contributed far, far more to my
motivation and progress in building an airplane than I have come close to
compensating him for financially. He has given me hours of one-on-one
advising in his own hangar, welded a few small parts for me for free that
the university machine shop wouldn't touch due to liability, given me engine
parts for free to replace what my core engine was missing, allowed me to use
his tools for my own project when I lacked what was needed, took me flying
in his airplane, and even laughed it off when I damaged his wrist pin
fixture by not paying attention and crushing it too far in his hydraulic
press. My total payment to him: $59 for his conversion manual. He is an
honest, well meaning, experienced mechanic. He is not a salesman.
If you have other proven methods of making airworthy systems, go ahead and
explain your ideas. Question other peoples' ideas if you like. That is the
purpose of the list, and that is how new ideas are shared. We all
appreciate input.
Do not attack the credibility of individuals, especially those that you do
not know. That is rude and it is not the purpose of the list.
I do not want any personal emails on this matter. I am in the middle of
final exams for my aerospace/mechanical engineering degree program and have
spent too much time on this list already.
