The timing of this post is wrong being so close to my other letter, but it is appropriate to our hobby.
Many of us wish to save a few dollars and in doing that we look towards the powerplant. For those of us who wish to travel this route, experience and education are of Utmost priority!
The Corvair Conversion has a proven record of accomplishment, and is considered a reliable, viable option in the 601XL series when built to the standards of William Wynnes research. I would like to invite everyone who is considering this approach to join in on

Being held at Quality Sport Planes In Cloverdale CA
More information at http://www.qualitysportplanes.com/qsp-2006_077.htm
This event is a must if your planning on using a Corvair Conversion, I have spent time with William at one of these events and it is a workshop in which you will learn all the tips and trick of building your own motor. William will talk about the design of his parts and the reason for it as well as the hours of proven track record. SO if you plan on a Corvair then this is a must.
Where is it
Cloverdale Airport (O60 on the San Francisco sectional), home of Quality Sport Planes, the Western regional representative for Zenith Aircraft. The event will be held in QSP's Builder- Assistance hangar/workshop.
If flying commercial, San Francisco International (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) are both about 100 miles away. Santa Rosa (STS) has direct flights from Seattle and L.A. and is just 25 miles south of Cloverdale.
Cost
It is free, although donations to offset event expenses, including William's travel costs, will gladly be accepted. Meals (deli sandwiches, pizza, drinks, etc.) will be provided at cost
What do you bring?
Bring all the parts you'd like inspected or potentially worked on. A folding workbench can be helpful; definitely bring your own hand tools if you are working on an engine. Most importantly bring a good attitude. You'll meet lots of new friends here, and you'll go home with more enthusiasm for your project than you dreamed possible.
William will have examples of virtually every part that he sells. However, since this is a road trip, he won’t be bringing his full inventory. If there’s a part you need to assemble your engine, it’s best to order it from him in advance.
Who is invited?
Anyone who has an interest in building and flying their own Corvair engine, regardless of aircraft make or model. Bring a friend or two if you like, William will make converts out of them also. In William's words: "This is not a male only event, and a number of female aviators and builders will be there. Events tend to be social gatherings also, and if your better half is reluctant to come because she doesn't want to sit in the hangar and talk about airplanes all day, assure her that we'll be talking about airplanes probably 50 percent of the time. The other half, we'll be talking about airplane engines." If that doesn't do it, perhaps the fact that Cloverdale is in the midst of beautiful Sonoma County wine country, with numerous wineries, redwood groves and the Pacific Coast nearby will!
