Ken (Heide) asked about descriptions and maybe pictures of some of the parts needed in the Corvair conversion per William Wynne's manual. One resource is William's website, http://www.flycorvair.com . If you look at the various info pages on that site, you'll see not only individual parts but assemblies as well. His "at the hangar" pages show various assemblies, too. But for pieces that William sells specifically for the conversion, his online catalog has photos of the pieces and how they go together. On the product description page,http://www.flycorvair.com/products.html , you can go down the list of parts and click on the link to see pictures and descriptions of each part or assembly that he sells.One other resource for parts, besides Clark's Corvairs, is The Corvair Underground. Website is at http://www.corvairunderground.com and they have been around a long, long time. Be aware that William does not endorse this source any longer, although he listed the company in earlier editions of his manual and showed the owner, Lon Wall, as a good person to deal with. I have found Lon to be fair and honest and his prices to be competitive. He is not a pilot nor an experimental aircraft builder but he knows Corvairs inside and out.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
