Default Soooo, what is the best plane to build around a corvair engine?

Since that engine is a natural-born assbuster, the slowest thing you
can build.


they are like vw conversions. up to a particular stress level the
conversion preforms admirably.
however push them past the stress level and you discover why the
continental o-200 looks distinctively different. it was designed for
the stress levels.

lou needs to research the engine conversion's history. I'm sure that
william wynne can point him to a successful style of use that the
engine can handle.
