Default Corvair conversion engines


wrote in message ...
When it really gets down to facts, most often aircraft engines really
don't cost any more than auto conversions and the aircraft engine
appears to be more reliable.
No redrives needed, redundant ignition and lots of other things that
makes them better.

I was a firm believer in auto engine conversions but i haven't seen many
last a long time except for the Subaru and Rotax engines.


There are many V-6's running, some significant numbers, time wise.

VW's flying all over the place.

Mercedes diesels in what, Thielert brand name?

Oh, by the way, Rotax is NOT an auto conversion.
