After correcting and landing on the plowed runway I noticed that every airplane that was outside was on ski's. My Archer was not equipped with ski's. Stumpy Grinder and his wife Martha were from Portland, Maine. Every year they went to the Portland Fair, and every year Stumpy said " Ya know Mahtha, I'd like ta get a ride in that theah aihplane." and every year Martha would say "I know Stumpy, but that ihplane ride costs ten dollahs.... and ten dollahs is ten dollahs." So Stumpy says " By Jeebers Mahtha, I'm 71 yeahs old, if I don't go this time I may nevah go." Martha replies " Stumpy, that there aihplane ride is ten dollahs...and ten dollahs is ten dollahs." So the pilot overhears them and says " Folks, I'll make you a deal, I'll take you both up for a ride, if you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say ONE word, I won't charge you, but just one word and it's ten dollars." They agree and up they go.... the pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard, he does it one more time, still nothing... so he lands. He turns to Stumpy as they come to a stop and says " By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to holler out, but you didn't." And Stumpy replies " Well, I was gonna say something when Mahtha fell out...but ten dollahs is ten dollahs!

It has an internal slinger. The pulley (in this case the prop hub) also has a shallow screw thread cut into it that "pumps" the oil back into the motor much like an archemedes screw pump.

All that I will need is your banking details. I have just done a similar deal with a guy in australia and it is a simple task. The funds were available to me the same day. I would prefer it if you called an aeroplane engine since aircraft parts are duty free here.What extra peperwork is involved if you call it an aircraft motor? We just pay VAT on the value. I am sure that the shipping won't be a problem. I would like to make a special request to you to considder the fact that corvairs are UNAVAILABLE here period, unless you will settle for a 1960/1 model. I have been waiting for ages for just such an oppertunity and am sure I won't be so lucky to find a motor like this for a long time to come. My KR2SRT is just about ready to hang a motor from its firewall and I am willing to delay the finishing of my plane just to have a 3100 corvair under the cowl. With all due respect, the other guys have all the oppertunities that you and others have had to have a motor like this built LOCALLY or build it themselves. The only oppertunities I have are ones such as this. I am sure we can come to some sort of agreement. It might be difficuilt to organise anything now, being so close to Christmas and new year, but I'm sure I could if I had to. I would really appreciate it if you could wait untill after new year as I have tons of work to finish before the end of the year and havn't even had the time to get out of the workshop to buy my wife a Christmas present!

Several Prop Hubs eliminate the "screw" seal and have a rubber seal added externally to the case. Often times they leak.

I have considered testing them out on our KR, as they gauruntee them to work with no reduction in cruise speeds. I believe the Cirrus SR20 and SR22 are also using them, as well as the Eagle 150. I point these out because they are fast composite planes like the KR.
