Took the day off to go flying today!
Beautiful mid-70s Spring weather in Indiana today .. first time in a while to leave the jacket in the car. Flew to Muncie for lunch. Now have 355 hours on my Corvair-powered CH650.

Sounds like you have a successful Corvair. Always liked these engines since they are so close to traditional aircraft engines in design. Beautiful plane!

Which HP option are you running? 100,110,120? Very impressive.

Bryan, no adjustments to timing (electronic) or valves (hydraulic lifters) have been required for the Corvair. A couple of times I have adjusted the idle mixture on my Marvel Schebler carb but that's about it. Otherwise normal maintenance of oil changes at about every 25 hours, cleaning the air filter, gascolater, etc. and annual inspections that includes everything on the engine. Engine runs smoothly and burns about 5 gallons per hour on average.
Regards,
Dave
