Corvair mounts use .049" thick 5/8" round and square 4130 steel tubing.

KR> Motor mount

Dean,

I've got some drawings of Lycoming mounts which seem to use combinations
anywhere from 1/2" .049, to 7/8" .058 wall tubing.  Probably can use 1/2"
.049 for a VW on a KR and be safe. Bump it to 5/8" .049 if you want to add
in some safety factor.

KR> sliding windows

The Swift has similar windows.  They are just .090 plexiglass that slide 
up and down in aluminum slots that curve like the fuselage.  This 
creates enough friction to make them stay wherever you leave them.  The 
top edge of the "window" has a small aluminum angle screwed to it, which 
acts as the handle.  This window is also half the door...the rest of the 
door being a hatch that's hinged from the front, so it's a combination 
of sliding windows and hinged hatch.  I really like it for photography 
purposes...when the window is down it completely eliminates image 
degradation and reflections between you and the sunset.

You better not have anything sitting around loose in the cockpit 
though...'cause it'll be gone!

To each his own, but I do not recommend it.  Having built one with the side
tilt and one with a "gull wing", if I were to do it again, I would use the
forward tilt, for many reasons already given on this forum.

I have been discussing the idea of making his canopy similar to my Ercoupe,
which both sides slide down.

Any thoughts on this?
