Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair, OPPSOPPS! I forgot to mention in my earlier post about Brodhead that I was totally impressed with the Corvair powered airplanes. I was skeptical at first,because my experience with two each VW based engines in an airplane I built about12 years ago was so disappointing. After that fiasco, I decided never again a car engine in an airplane for me, but now... I just might be a Corvair Convert and I'm exploring the possibility of acquiring one to rebuild, in additionto my Continental A-80.In summary, the Corvairs sounded very cool, pulled hard, started easy and ran fine.TACO Loco________________________________________________________________________________
