For those interested in the corvair - stick with what is proven and works well. Your will be happier in the long run to have an airplane in the air in a shorter amount of time with a LOT less money and hassle. Once you are flying then build your 3100 or turbo or whatever and modify a tested and flying platform. It is the safer route to take. Im sure Ive put more hours and flown to more places behind my $2000 2700cc Corvair than ANYBODY has behind anything modified. Im more than happy with the performance and the costs of repair and maintenance are negligable. Im working on a turbo setup but I can keep flying until it is ready and then only have the plane down a couple days for the conversion. Get WW manual - follow it and you cant go wrong.
