All this talk about the corvair has me thinking. But, I have a few questions I hope you guys can answer; what is the useful load when using the corvair? Can it still be a tri-gear? Which year or maodel numbers are best to use? How many are now flying in the 601? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff Hudson

As someone else has pointed out, almost all of these questions have been 

answered on William Wynne's web site:  www.flycorvair.com



Also, my tri gear 601XL weighs 777 pounds empty, yeilding over 540 pounds of 

useful load.  It climbs very nicely a little over gross (don't ask me how I 

know because it has never happend).

I'm not "gifted" (though some have called me "special") but  I'm about to start assembling my Corvair engine for the second time. The last  engine I worked on was a lawn mower engine in high school. So if I can do it so  can most others.

Aside from William  Wynne's web site also consider joining the e-mail list about Corvair engines in  aircraft:

 And Mark Langford's web  site about his Corvair-powered KR-2S is not to be missed:
