Corvairs are proving crank breakers when operated
(direct drive) at power levels much over that of the old Pietenpol
conversions.

Flat out misleading, and shows that good 'ole Brett did not take the time to
read the whole story from William Wynne.

There are many factors that contribute to the Corvair crank breaks, but a
couple are using too long of a crank extension, using too heavy of a prop,
and using small props turning too many RPM's on very fast, slick aircraft.

If a person is really to want the whole, truthful story, it would be wise to
go to William's site, and read the whole story for yourself. Don't take
someone else's word on it, and especially not Brett's.

Sorry I had to respond to you, fredfighter, but I couldn't let that pass,
and I have Brett in the round file, where he belongs.
