    HI Patrick,

    I understand you are modifying a 750 kit into a tail dragger.  Do you have any pix of the conversion yet?

    Pat my 701 was used as a test end for the Corvair engine. I was not involved with the testing and have very few details on it. Once 40 hours of testing I replaced the Corvair with a Rotax ULS 100 HP new engine.

    The Corvair, from what I heard was to heavy and even with the battery on the rear of the aircraft it flew nose heavy. With the Rotax it jumps off the ground and though I am new to flying, before I read about how impossible it is to land with flaps completed half of my first 50 landings with full flaps. Apparently, I was to green to know that this was supposed to be very difficult. My instructor also didn't know either, so half our landings were full flap and my take-offs equaled my landings. . . which is always a good thing.

    Pat my understanding from Vance Simmons you are installing a corvair in your project. I myself am installing a corvair in my 750. My I pick you brain once in awhile?
