Coda: I would say that a Corvair is a good value and would considerit myself if it did not have so many ponies. I will be putting a GP 1835 cc/ 1915 cc in mine that I will by as factory built at a little over $6k assembled and run tested. I am building mine up to operate within "Sport Plane" limitations and slowing it down will be a challenge. The other issue is to keep the stall down to the magic 51 mph my gross will be limited to 887# and that is with 94" long outer wing panels (KR2s Wings). I am 63 with a mild BP problem with a pvt SEL rating but do not wish to jump through the hoops to keep my medical so Iam convertining to a "Sport Pilot" .
