  • what an ungly hard landing!

  • Tough aeroplane, great sound! I hear something else in the background exercising its cs prop ( 0-540 Lyc maybe?? ). Just imagine this Zenair/Corvair with a cs prop, mmmm cs prop droool ( sorry Homer ). Anyway, great aeroplane!!

  • it was definitively not a good landing

  • hit the ground pretty hard there

  • @Bagadaboats Mainly because the exhaust is different between the two, and also the propeller makes a fair amount of noise that you wouldn't hear with a car.

  • So how did the Corvair turn out? Was there enough power. How about the weight and balance? I'm thinking of doing a 701/ corvair combination. I understand the 750 would be better for the corvair but i like the 701 for the way the wings fold.

  • thats a testament to the rugged gear that zenith uses.

  • y do airplane piston engine startups and car engine startups sound different if they use a very similar engine

  • was that a good landing?

  • Those wandering about "Car" engines in air craft, look it up in Wiki or Google. Some use Subaru engines as well for instance.
