Hi, everyone.- I deep in the final stages of deciding what I want to do f
or my next project, and I'm starting to settle on a Zenith Zodiac 650B with
a Corvair on the front.- I've read a lot on the flycorvair.net/com site,
and there is a LOT of dense info there. I think the option to build with s
tandard cylinders, but use the new dished pistons that Mr. Wynn was talking
about a year ago (for the 2775 engine) would be a good way for me to go.
- Barring the availability of the pistons, which still don't seem to be f
or sale yet, a basic 2850 would be my best option.- =0A=0A=0AOther than b
uying the rebuild manual from Mr. Wynn, what can I do to get myself up to s
peed on the ins and outs of the engine?=0A=0AFor reference, I completely re
built and designed the installation of the rotary that I hung on the front
of my Dyke Delta.- This included building the control computer (a MegaSqu
irt), setting up the complete, single-lever throttle system along with the
fuel map and advance tables, designing an intake charge system (it wasn't s
uper, but it was a Corvair fan), and an exhaust system.- The best I can s
ay about it is that it all worked.- That's all to say that I have a littl
e understanding of engines, and I know which end of the ratchet to hold.=0A

Other than buying the rebuild manual from Mr. Wynn, what can I do to get myself
up to speed on the ins and outs of the engine?
Hi Ernest,
If at all possible you should attend a Corvair College. I've been to three of
them and they helped me immensely.
