Bill:
Can you give us all one or two points of confusion, (mine not yours)
The 2700 seems to have the best reports as to reiability and power. IS this
what you guys are seeing? Then which way does the prop swing from the
cockpit. Like an SAE1 continental or like the Volks? Interested

Subject: KR> Subaru Vs CORVAIR?
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
