I just spent the last week on a very interesting trip with William Wynne and
his wife Grace. We traveled to Mexico, MO for the Zenith Open House and
Corvair get together. I met a lot of new people and saw some old faces as
well. William did his speech and talked shop with a lot of new builders and
interested customers. Had a good time with the Zenith crew and got a good
look
at their facilities and method of production. Afterwards we traveled to
Casey IL to work on Cleone Markwell's 601. We installed the New 2700 with a
nitrided crank and got it up an running. Had supper with Cleone and his
lovely
wife. Very nice and decent people. The kind you want for neighbors and
friends. Finnaly made it back home yesterday. Very tired but with a good
sense of
accomplishment.
Now Im back at work on the VWs that I need to finish up. My plans are
to fly up to Alliance Ohio to be the Corvair Authority's spokesperson for the
weekend. I hope to meet with a lot of you - new and old friends. A couplle
other corvair powered airplanes plan to be there as well. It should be a
good weekend. Bring a friend and anyone interested in aviation and especially
the corvair.
Back to work - cars to build - plane to design - some flying to do -
biannual to complete.....it goes on.
