For those interested in the SUB installations two names come to mind. Steve
Makish and Bob Lester are the only two that I know who have SUCCESSFULLY
flewn many hours behind Subaru engines in a KR2. They know all the problems
and
had all the bugs worked out. Since then they have removed the Subarus and
installed Corvair engines. I believe Steve has 150 hours or better on his now
and I have 290 hours on mine. WHY the change? To move from a more
expensive, complicted engine that can wear out in 500 hrs to a much simpler
engine
that is easier to maintain and costs less to build. Now all the installation
packaging is worked out and available and there are corvair engine running
that have over 1200 hours on them and never been down for major maintenance.
I
like the Corvair personally and will continue to fly behind it. Bill for
