No, it is not my first, but is my longest and most challenging. It was about 550 SM over 6000 ft mountain peaks. At one point in the flight, my GPS altitude was 13850. I flew between two towering thunderstorms that I had on my Skyview and knew exactly where they were and that there were no others in the vincinity. I am still in awe of this engine that it can climb to almost 14000 feet and want to keep climbing. Flying between those clouds was an experience of a lifetime and I regret that I did not put a fresh battery in my camera.
I run my Corvair very conservatively, 2950 RPM, as suggested by Roy. I get 140 MPH cruise at this setting and am very happy with it. It is more narrow than a VW or certainly an 0200 and I am quite sure that it would fit into that space.
