    Hey John,

    Not to start anything, but if you keep that project as a nosewheel airplane I would consider another engine besides the corvair.  It comes out heavy and does not have good low speed thrust for the weight.  We just had a local guy break the nosegear on his corvair powered HDS.  By the time you get everything FWF installed, you will not have saved much over a used 80hp 912ul and that installation will fly much better because it is so much lighter and has a geared down prop.  FWIW,  Mark
