Subject: | Re: Corvair - where to get one? |
I feel I have to respond to this post to clarify, as I understand it,
the positions Wynne and Magnificent Machine occupy with regard to
Corvair flight engines. I attended the Corvair College about a year ago
held at Magnificent Machine. I am a long time follower of William Wynne
who has devoted a very significant part of his life to the development
of a safe conversion of Corvair engines for use in aircraft. IMHO,
anyone planning to convert a Corvair engine for aircraft use should take
advantage of the testing and research he has done. His book, "Corvair
Flight Engines", contains a wealth of information about Corvair engines
and how to convert them. I wholeheartedly agree with all that has been
said about Magnificent Machine, but they, and others, are only building
on the decades of work that has been done by William Wynne.

A better source for good parts, like new cranks, light weight
cylinders, etc is at magnificentmachine.com. I talked to him last
weekend and first met him in Livermore at a Corvair College. Wynne is
good but this guy has got even better stuff. You want fuel injection,
new not used cranks, etc. See this guy, he can build you a bullet proof
engine far stronger than any thing Wynne can build.

Greetings Clemens,
No need to apologize for your english, it's better than my
"Austrian" :)
I can't offer any direct answers to your question.
Try the CorvAircraft list. There are many more people and experts.
http://www.krnet.org/corvaircraft_inst.html
I'll see you there.

Magnificent machine's website says their cranks are NOT currently
available. They also say that they expect flight test data soon i.e they
have none right now. Their other parts are much the same as WW's. WW has
built hundreds of flight engines, has torn down many high time engines
and knows it inside out and backwards, having been around for 20 years
or so and has never offered anything for sale before it has been flight
tested. So I don't see how you can say that MM can build a better engine
far stronger etc with no flight test history. WW has knowledge and
experience and all his parts are available now. With the 5th bearing and
a nitrided crank his engines have been shown to be very robust in
service.
