Subject: CorvairEngines-List: Safe flight behind a Corvair
From: "Ron Lendon" <rlendon@comcast.net>


Here is a much needed news flash.

Today two pilots entered an experimental Zenith 601XL airplane powered 
by a Corvair 2700 engine, left the ground, and had a safe flight which 
included 3 intentional landings and about an hour or so of flying.  The 
amazing thing is the Zodiac Canopy remained latched (original design),  
the wings also remained in their original design location and the engine 
purred like a kitten. At no time did we fly beyond the maneuvering speed 
of the aircraft

I want to publicly thank Dr. Gary Ray for a very enjoyable flight and 
conversation.

This is the very same airplane I am scratch building and it was just 
what I needed to get me back at it.
