If you can build the plane, you can build the motor. I built a Corvair for my CH 750 and have a great time doing it. I encourage you to go to a Corvair College; you learn so much. Google CC#22 to check oout some of the pictures.
Paul I feel your pain. I am verry lucky I was able to work on my project almost nonstop for 6 months and finished in that time. I am a total beginner like yourself. After reading some of your posts I can relate. like where or when do you install antennas. You will run into this often. If you call zenith as often as I did they need to be on speed dial. Roger is very halpful, if you get sent to Kaleb he will make you feel like a fool. I bought the videos and they helped alot, but there were still many ? . I have 55 hrs on my plane since my first flight Jan. 1st. and all I can say is hang in there. It really is worth the trouble. I am having a ball.
Hi Paul got my fuel valve today it's the V1 4 way . the valve body has three holes on the lower end of the valve with no indication of what is supposed to feed what tank or motor,or what is to go to what hole, tried to email the co but that didn't work to well, that was probably me. This valve has 4 positions off, both, l, R. there are no marking on the valve or in the very modest instructions as to how to plumb it? how did you do yours? thanks for any advice. Ron
