 Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2006 11:06 am Post subject: Corvair Engine -- not difficult to install |
 |
|
The Corvair Engine and the FWF items are not0 difficult to install.
I just did it and I found it to be very straight0 forward.
All of the parts are readily available and the0 systems are well thought out.
My installation is as per WW's recommendations and0 makes use of almost every part that he offers. I could have saved money if0 I had followed William Wynne's
advice sooner. Until William helped0 me, my engine was not good enough and required a0 redo.
I am nearly ready to begin flight testing. I0 have confidence that the engine, airframe and the avionics will0 perform as expected and now, in their final configuration, they are as they0 should be.
When I have solid performance numbers for you, I0 will post them.
Until I have first hand knowledge I am0 reluctant to comment.

I've just ordered my engine mount from WW and got an e-mail from Grace that he will call me when he's back in FLA to answer some questions I had.
I have a quck question for you Gary. Did you buy either plans for or the actual cowling from WW?
