Raymond,
The Corvair, properly done, should be as good a seller, pricewise as any
commercial product. The second hand Rotax or Jabaru have no better
support or recourse in the event of major problems. I suspect the Corvair
could easily be a better long term engine and it will cost much less.
Conversely, the Rotax and Jabaru have parts and service which are very
expensively slanted toward dealer repair. I fly a Subaru and like the
Corvair,
You only need to know the correct setups and maintenance to get
comparatively low cost long term performance.

I'd like to think you were right, that a Corvair would appeal to as many
people as any other. I think it is a good engine, but far more people
have heard of the big players than a corvair in an airplane. Some of
them would probably worry about it rolling over! 
Have to decide exactly what my priorities and options are. I'll know
more in a few months.
Thanks to everyone for their comments.

Greetings, CH750 list! I have ordered a CH750 kit, hope to receive it soon. I am seriously
considering the Rotec R2800 radial as an engine to power my 750.
