Hi folks. 

  

 I'm new at posting to the list but I've been  lurking for a couple of months. I purchased my plans at Sun n' Fun and have  them nearly worn through in some spots but I have yet to order the kit.  I  decided to build the engine first so I'm not facing that large hurdle once the  airframe is completed. 

  

 As for the engine, I chose the WW conversion also  and I hope its not considered rude for me to be rather passionate about the  engine, just as I have found the other builders either already flying, or  currently building, a WW conversion .  After months of searching, I  have not found a better value available for the type of flying I wish to do  in my remaining years.  

  

 Engine choice is not something to be defended or  attacked, its merely one person's preference and right.  When I saw the  first Corvair conversion start and run so smoothly and quietly I was 85% of the  way to being hooked.  After reading WWs manual and speaking with WW in  person, as well as a few other Corvair conversion builders who were flying  behind their engines, I was 100% "converted".  I mean, hey, a complete  engine, with prop, a decent safety record, compartitatively speaking, ready to  fly for about the the same amount as the deposit on a Jab or Rotax was a no  brainer for me.  The good thing about it for me was that I found  what I consider to be a rational, straightforward discussion of the  pros and cons of the engine and associated risks of the systems  design.  

  

 Your case may be much different, and GOD Bless you  and I'm sure your choice is the best choice for you and your type  of flying. I wish you many years of safe and happy flying.

  

 It is certainly not for me to tell you, or  anyone else,  that "the only sensible decision uou can make is a Corvair  conversion" because that is NOT true for you if you chose a different  option.

  

 Anyway, once I get the engine assembled, running  and tested I plan to start on the kit.  For the most part I know that the  information in the archives of this list will be of tremendous help to me and I  want to express my sincere gratitude for those of you, past, present and  future, who  have contributed, and continue to contribute, to  this tremendous wealth of informationon on this great little airplane.  It  will be invaluable to me in the coming months.

  

 I look forward to the process with the confidence  that there is a group of dedicated souls who have already been where I have  yet to tread, and who freely give their input and assistance to fellow  builders.

  

 Thank you one and all.

Welcone to the list Floyd!

 I can sure vouch for the fact that it is very  satisfying to know that a smooth running 6-cylinder is ready to install as soon  as I finish the airframe. It tends to provide that extra incentive when faced  with those inevitable times when things get a tad frustrating,
