650B Hinged vs flex hinge ailerons
Posted on April 24, 2015 at 8:26pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
I would appreciate any comments from pilots who have flown both versions of the hinged ailerons and flex hinged ailerons.
I have flown the flex hinge version and noted that it took real effort to turn (real stiff) compared to my Cherokee 140 which could be turned with essentially finger tip pressure.
One pilot stated the hinged ailerons worked well on the ground but were just as stiff as his prior installed flex hinge in the…
ContinueCorvair Engine - Upper to Cylinder Head Studs (long studs).
Posted on August 20, 2010 at 11:13am 1 Comment 0 Likes
Been informed that Clark's Corvair new cylinder, upper to cylinder head studs, expand about 30-40 thousanths more than the original GM studs.
Clark's Corvair has informed me that it will not affect the engine.
Does anyone have actual experience with these new studs compared to GM's originals which are no longer available as "new original stock?
Any adverse problems?

Thanks,
Many thanks. I had hoped for such a response, not only for the savings (crating ) but I don't relish the 14' trailer tow 1050 total miles. I'm checking with the folks at Zenith (who do this often) if the kit will fit in a 10' Ford Econoline van (I have access to one of these now also).
Thanks again ...
I have ordered the WW manual and am looking forward to this project! It is so great to be building once again!
