Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, he or she will instantly cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple. Don't you wish PBS worked that way! :-) I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to run a List Site like this. It also goes to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites. If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!! http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you!

Today is a day that will go down in Corvair-powered aircraft history as these are one of the most important developments for our engines. We are very excited about their long awaited arrival and we are, so far, very pleased with the results. More information and pictures are forthcoming this week. For inquiring minds, as measured this morning, the main bearing journal radii are .125", and the rod bearing journals radii are .100". Check our website often for updates on this exciting and long-awaited project!

What HP range are you after? What are you going to fly it in? A 750 I assume :) Do you have William Wynne's Corvair manual? He goes into detail about what to look for in a core engine. 1965 - 69 110 HP no smog or turbo engines will get you most of the way. With this you will have most of the parts you will need to rebuild. If you are seriously considering a Corvair you should Buy his manual. It's full of info and is a fairly good read. It goes into engine mount details as well as all the engine related stuff. You don't need to buy a whole car Just the engine. Core engines are only worth about $200 if you can find one that turns. Later models are preferable. Earlier models are ok too but there is more work involved. If you have trouble finding one in your area, let me know I have 20 or so.
