I'm sorry I disappointed you. My comments were based on the posts of several folks on the list who are either building or flying behind VWs that have said they'd rather have a Corvair in their plane, if they could start over. There are several folks who were flying behind VWs that recently switched to the Corvair. Here's a short list: Bob Lester, Steve Makish, Steve Jones, and Bill Clapp used to fly a VW in his earlier KR2. Why didn't Bill build his new S with a VW engine? Steve Glover was in the process of converting from VW to Corvair when he sold his airplane. There are several folks who've bought VW powered projects that are now converting them to Corvair power (like Colin Rainey). I don't know of a single soul who's flown behind a Corvair that wants to go back to a VW. I even know one guy with an 0-200 in his plane that's planning on installing a Corvair. But I'll try to keep my biased comments to myself in the future... Mark Langford, Harvest, AL see homebuilt airplane at http://www.N56ML.com email to N56ML "at" hiwaay.net
