Joe, did you make your own wing root fairings or did you buy them? If so, where? Thanks.

I’m watching your interview with The Aircraft Channel. I have a 650B kit I’m patiently (or not) waiting for. One of my thoughts about this aircraft is it needs wing root fairings. What can you tell me about yours? Thanks.

Joseph, I see you have a Franklin 235 install and wanted your opinion of it.  I now have that engine with all firewall forward and thinking about a Cruzer install.

Yes the viking spring is available, I got the new nose strut for puck system by mistake and couldn’t use the steel bungee that I had on the shelf.

Joe , it’s Jeff Herman here, you asked about the wheel pants on my 601. The photo is from the previous owner. I had him remove them for me before I bought it last October because I like grass strip fields. I have not installed them yet for myself , so I cannot answer your question. I keep them on a shelf and can take measurements if you need me to

I'm also flying a corvair.  It has had some teething issues, but I think everything is running smooth now.  Looking forward to some longer flights where I can get more settled.
