  • @charzkuentzle there were 1.8 million corvairs made, they're not exactly cosidered rare.

  • I must admit, this is one idea I never thought of. Sounds great.

  • why not use and engine thats a little less rare?

  • very, very , very nice.

    why not drive a corvair with it.. for super MPG?

  • 2 cylinder opposed?

  • The 1/3 corvair is intended for very light aircraft. You wouldn't want to use a complete corvair for such an aircraft for the same reason you don't want to put an O200 on an ultralight. It's just too darned heavy. It would never work.

  • Well....It works and is safe on the ground.

    Just can't expect much in a climb or headwind I expect. Why not use the complete Corvair??

  • I've been interested in this engine, as I built a similar one and wanted to compare notes with flycorvair, but he has not responded. Do you know how I can reach him? Thanks for any info.

  • Bore 3.437 inches (87.3 mm)

  • very, very nice.. what does it weigh? how much hp.. sounds great.
