Any prop strike would give me cause to be concerned. No mater if it was a
Corvair or a Continental or Lycoming or VW. My life and the lives of those in a
plane with me or on the ground below me would give me cause enough to open it
up and be sure there is no damage to that crank or other assembl
I usually always reading but this time I feel to write also.
My general opinion and not only regarding a Corvair is: Open your engine and
inspect it. Better safe then sorry!
I also remember that few members of the group already broke a crankshaft
spontaneously and more then a time.

Even though the Corvair's weight has caused some static nose heaviness, I
felt that with me in the pilot's seat (150 lbs), some ground handling
stability would result..WRONG!!!
The good news.the primer worked perfectly.engine started on the third blade.
The BAD news, I tried to taxi test the plane
