<VV> Corvair trim differences

[William Hubbell]

Apologies!  I meant to address this to TONY (or whomever etc.). I have no idea who RAY is or how he got into my post.

I guess this is what happens when I post on an iPhone before my first cup of coffee!!!

You don't have to have all your facts straight to start a post - that gets sorted out with comments. The editors of the site are there to help fix any problems.  By adding appropriate tags and categories to the posts we make them easy to find later when somebody else is looking for information.

The new website is the powerful realization of that tool. However, like any other tool, it is worthless without people to use it.
