Soooo, what is the best plane to build around a corvair engine?
"Roger (K8RI)" wrote That's it! Velocity. Nice looking job so far too. Slick, fast on little power, and comfortable. Not a soft short field airplane, but it certainly fills the role of cross country cruising. -- Jim in NC |

Not a soft short field airplane, but it certainly fills the role of cross country cruising. I flew to Oshkosh in formation with a Cozy from Midland a number of times. One time we were turning final for 36 together which is where I put the gear down for that one. It looked like I had put on the brakes. I think his touch down speed was about equal to my over the fence speed. It may not have been quite that high but it sure seemed like it and he easily used twice the runway I did.:-)) Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |
