I finally met Collin in person this weekend at my glider.
His dad lives in the area, so he stopped by to visit while vacationing.
Collin is a wealth of information and we talked about plenty of good ideas and things
about keeping our great Fourniers flying.
He apparently knows the location, condition and owner of every Fournier in the US.
The ratio valve rocker suggestion was interesting and something I'd like to upgrade as it
apparently gives a bit more lift to the valves allowing the engine to breath better and
a bit more power.
I also plan on buying a Culver Prop 53x32 as it is somewhat variable scimitarish pitch through its flexing
under load and gets a bit more top end speed without losing the good climb performance.
I enjoyed the visit and am looking forward to more as we put together a West Coast US Fournier Flyin.
We just need to wait for a few projects to finish (Bob and Dan) so they can come too.
