Thanks Bill, the photos help.
WE layed up fiberglass yesterday on the top where there is more of a
compound shape. We will attach the lower aluminum pieces in a similar manner
to yours.

| Subject: | Is there a Corvair Installation anywhere? |
Does anyone know about a Corvair engine installation that is flying? I have
a W-10 now needing an engine and am thinking about Corvair 100HP.
Thanks,

Kevin, here are some sources for alternate engines, the Contact magazine
is for alternate power at www.contactmagazine.com also
www.N56ML.com/corvair and Mark Langford at N56ML@hiwaay.net he has
an article on corvair power in his KR2 which he flew 270 hrs last year,
in issue 85, current issue of Contact Magazine. The one doing all the
development on the Corvair is William Wynne at www.FlyCorvair.com
check out his website. Farmer John

Kevin,
My Tailwind is not built - just the ribs.
The Corvair engine was assembled and it test ran real good. That was
three years ago.
It has been disassembled this month to have the crankshaft nitrided.
The Corvair rotates the opposite direction than certified engines so the
verticle stabilzer needs to be offset in the opposite direction or the
Corvair needs to be made to run in reverse.
The Corvair aircraft engine conversion is available from
http://www/flycorvair.com
I remember a Mr. Southwick in Baton Rouge who was making a W-8 a few
years ago and we used to chat on the phone once and a while and I was
wondering how his project came along. I lost a lot of contact info in a
computer hardware crash. The last I heard he was making the wings.
I think you and I emailed a long time ago.
Tom Cummings
