Builders.
I have been at the last 28 consecutive Sun n Funs, but this year I will break the streak, because I will be on the road for the three western Corvair Colleges. For builders headed to Sun n Fun from April 5th -10th, Dan and Rachel Weseman and the SPA/Panther crew will be there, and they will have all of our parts, (and their own Corvair stuff) for sale.
.
Keep in mind that our sales and distribution are now covered by Dan and Rachel. (read the story here: Outlook 2016, New order page and distribution method. ) It has been in place for 60 days, and it is working exceptionally well, and the arrangement allows me to focus on making parts and teaching builders, the two elements I do best. The arrangement also allows parts to be purchased and shipped the whole time I am on the road (Read College and Western Tour update, and College and western tour update #2 )

Blast from the past, Sun n Fun 20 years ago. My Pietenpol and from L to R, Gus Warren, Steve Upson and a young version of me. The EAA’s Mary Jones took the picture the last hour of the show.
.
It had been a long, fun week. If we look a little rough, it was from spending the previous night at the ultra-light party where the legendary Chuck Slusarczyk was serving his “Muzzle Loader” moonshine. People said it was made with Acetone and Skydrol, but in reality. it just tasted that way. It was served in coffee mugs because it ate right through Styrofoam cups.
.
The 1990’s ultra-light parties were simple fun with bands and beer and friends, events a little too ‘colorful’ to fit into major airshows today.

William,
Last week I received the FAA inspection on my RV-3 with a 3100 Corvair. Will be flying it soon. Thank you for all your words of wisdom. See you in Cloverdale.
