Your name came up regarding Franklin 235 in a Cruzer. I have the firewall forward now and thinking about the Cruzer too. Interested in any comments you may provide.

I haven't started building. The Cruzer is on my short list of projects. I hope to get an up-close look at the plane at Sun-n-Fun this April and decide one way or the other.

As for performace,it was not bad for a heavier engine. I have flow a lot of rotax and was really surprised by how good it could perform I think. A lot has to do with the whirlwind prop . You don't feel the steep climb out that you would with a rotax but it's not bad
I think the corvair is heavier than the 0-200 and you might have trouble keeping the thing cool , the STOL only flys at about 80-85 MPH

At 2:31pm on January 22, 2015, Tracy Buttles said…: Hey Bryan. Did you want info on the eaa STOL?

At 4:01pm on November 24, 2014, Tim Garrett said…: Hey, Bryan, I "posted" your rudder picture into the "Rudders!" photo album. The site doesn't differentiate re-posting with the original posting.

Check out the photo album. There's a bunch of rudders there!

Although I have only taxied so far the corvair has worked out ok. Had a couple issues mostly because of having no experience with the Aerocarb I am using, there is quite a learning curve associated with it. I have contacted the FAA MIDO office locally and will be getting an airworthiness inspection with the next 2 to 3 weeks if it goes as planned. First flight will come very shortly after.

I wish you successful building. Stay at it. Do something every day to advance the project.

At 12:13pm on September 9, 2014, Robert C. Heiser said…: My first pneumatic riveter I got on ebay, it has since broken. I now have a red one purchased at Angelo Bolt in San Angelo, TX. The nose piece I dished with a dremel tool and a round grinding bit. Some of the nose pieces are too hard to grind. Found my hand riveter used the same hose pieces.

Found a corvair engine on barnstormers 80% converted. Headed to Mexico, MO later this week for Corvair College and Zenith open house.
