I forgot to finish the last sentence of what I wrote. I was in the middle of pasting in the link to my Corvair page and decided to move it up into the first paragraph, and forgot to delete this sentence fragment, so you didn't miss anything. But something I do want to mention is that if you're serious about putting a Corvair engine on an airplane, you need to join the CorvAircraft email list. It's run by a real jerk of a dictator (me), so if you can deal with the way KRnet works, you'll do fine with the CorvAircraft list. To subscribe, send an email to [email protected] and respond to the confirmation email. As with KRnet, if you want to fold all of the email into one email per day (called the "digest"), you can choose that option once you log in using the link and password provided with the "welcome" email. The list has about 600 guys building and flying Corvair engines, and some of them are pretty sharp machinists and engineers.
After my second crank break, I was starting to have reservations about the Corvair, but with the fifth bearing on the engine, and seeing the difference it makes with vibration level during climbs and turns, I'm feeling a lot more confident about it.
