I'm on AOL too and I use this easy technique: Put the Address line wanting to view at the top of the frame. Click and hold the Top colored bar with mouse and move the window until the address line is just at the bottom of the screen. Then Click on "Internet" (with Globe). Remove the address in the box by highlighting it (left click on beginning and hold down and run the mouse to the end) and then hitting "delete" key. Next go to the address at the bottom and highlight it and release button. Then again click on the address line holding it down and run the mouse up to the box where you just removed the old address. Then release the button (drop) the address into the box! No typing required with its inevitable mistakes! Click "GO" and you are there! Really is easy and takes 5 - 10 seconds with no errors when you get the hang of it! (If you know computerize, my apologies for being so excruciatingly verbose!)

If someone could send me the e-mail adress of the canadian seller it would be greatly appreciated !!!

The whole weight that goes in the wing is auto sustained while in fligth, that is to say that the wings tanks weigth doesn't impact in the WAF, except when in earth (landing). I believe that it is the best configuration, perhaps with a small header tank. You can make them in the same way that it is described for the internal wing tanks (a la Mark Langford or similar). I hope it serves you. Cordially.

It has wing tanks (6 gal. each wing) and I manage fuel by pump time (1/2 gal. per min.) I have a tank selector valve and switch on the center console between the piolt and passenger. There is a facet pump near the center of the main spar.

Instead of mounting them under the wing, fighter style, mounting them on top of the wing and using the wing attach fittings for mounting. This would make them easily removable and no additional modifications to the wings with the exception of the gas lines and quick disconnects would be required. The gas gauge question is easily answered by using my capacitive fuel gauge that I designed and is presently in use in my header tank. These gauges use baffles inside the tanks as fuel dependent variable capacitors. Any thoughts on the subject and my idea?

First, does anyone know where I can find out more info about Corvair engines for our planes? Like the info on GreatPlains. Second, couldn't I get an engine from a salvage yard and rebuild it? If so could I use any air cooled engine (VW, Porsche, Corvair)? There is a salvage yard near here that has alot of old VW and Porsches. I figured if a porsche engine would work, I could rebuild a Porsche engine and get the same effect that a corvair would give me. If not, could I still rebuild a VW engine? Just trying to save cash...and figure if I had to build one from GreatPlains then I'd save myself the cash and buy one from a salvage yard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Plywood orientation From: "David Goodman" Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2000 22:51:44 -0800 X-Message-Number: 10 A general question for those engineers out there. Why does there have to be a specific orientation of plywood outer grain with respect to the spars? If the material is multi-ply, why should this matter? Just wondering, as I have an eight foot long section of plywood left over from building my sides that I guess I can not really use unless I scarf it about six times!

Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2000 08:22:32 +0100 X-Message-Number: 12 I think you should install the bullet type tanks under the wing. The wing works much more in suction (on the upper side) than in compression (on the lower side). Thus installing something on the upper side will strongly decrease the performances of your plane.
