Hello All, Just passing this on. I initially got involved with Corvairs only because I needed a block to build an aviation engine. Now I own a couple of Corvairs and even though I own a converted aviation ready Corvair engine, I will be using an O-200. But, if you are interested in a Corvair powerplant and you can make this mini-convention, you should go. William Wynn is the guru of Corvair powerplant conversion. Definitely interesting. Definitely educational. No matter what powerplant you use. And make sure you check out Corvair College # 23.
*SET THE DATE: JUNE 17-21, 2020... The Corvair Preservation Foundation is pleased to present a mini-convention called: "Corvair - The Next Generation"*, that will be held at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield, Illinois. This event is designed to attract and entertain Corvair lovers of all ages as we look to preserve the future of our hobby and its air-cooled legacy while having a lot of fun. There will be plenty of activities including a Concours on Thursday (with the appearance of a "special" Corvair, maybe two), swap meet, tech session, funkhana, road tour, banquet with guest speaker, and a new added car display event on Saturday for the working crowd. Anything Corvair is welcome. One of our exciting highlighted features this year will be special guest speaker, Mr. William Wynne of FlyCorvair.net <https://www.corvair.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=254&qid=176746> who is well-known for converting Corvair engines into airplane engines. After all, Corvair engines are aircraft inspired. As a special treat, a Corvair powered airplane will be on display and William may have a surprise to go with it. Invite your aviation friends who may find this very interesting. If you want to learn more about what William does, go to You Tube and search "WW Fly Corvair". Another new feature will be a Corvair-themed Art Show at the hotel for folks who want to bring their original paintings, sketches, renderings, photographs, or three-dimensional artwork pieces made from Corvair parts for others to enjoy. Please bring your own easel or stand for display. The Crowne Plaza is now accepting room reservations at a rate of $105 per night (no meals included). This hotel is pet friendly so bring your fur family members with you. You can click on the link provided below to make a reservation on line. Alternately, you can call 1-888-303-1755 and mention you are part of the group: "CORVAIR SOCIETY (CODE CV9)". The last day you can make a reservation is May 22, 2020, to obtain the special group rate. *CORSA Bylaws Change - ballots due by 2/9/20* Reminder: we need your vote on the change to CORSA bylaws eliminating the 3 term consecutive limit that is on the ballot right now.
