I have had both and the Corvair is more powerful and trouble free than is
the VW, in my opinion.



Also, I am going to a new aircraft with a different engine, so have my
Corvair engine for sale.  So, no problem finding one.

Hey Jon, I am new to the net, I have heard a lot about the Corvair engine.

I just bought a KR-1 and a KR-2 both have VW. How does the Corvair compare?

Are Corvair engines hard to find?

Mine kind of fell in my lapin the disassembly stage so technically a
box of pieces fell in my lap.  Check out flycorvair.com for the particulars
on the good models.

I had a huge boost of motivation and inspiration on Saturday...so I spent
the day Sunday doing something that has bothered me for some time now. The
standard ww corvair mount just doesn't work on my oddball fuselage...so I
cut the legs off and repositioned them...here it is ready to go to the
welder.

KR> Inspiration from Oshkosh

[Brian Kraut]

It has been one busy month.  I made the first flight in the M1 about four
and a half weeks ago and flew it every chance I got to get the 40 hours off
to get it to Oshkosh.  The day after I did my first cross country from the
east coast of FL to the west coast and over the Gulf of Mexico.  The day
after I went about 100 miles each way to show the plane to the person who
started it and lost his medical before it was done.  You could not imagine
how happy he was to see it fly.  I just wish it had two seats so I could
take him for a ride.  All of you that have been building for years remember
this and make it a priority to get your KRs done while you are young enough
to fly them!

The next day I left for the 950 nautical mile trip to Oshkosh.  I got there
in 7.1 hours of flying time.  It has been my life's dream to build a plane
and fly it to Oshkosh since I was about 10 years old.  I thought my first
trip there would be in a KR last year, but life had other plans for me.  I
was in the line to register the plane when the stress of getting the plane
done, flying off the hours, and making my longest flight ever finally went
away and I realized that I had just lived the dream I have had for 25 years.
The happiness and pride hit me like a ton of bricks and I had to get out of
the line and take a walk for a half hour.  I have not felt like that since
the day my son was born.

All of you that have been working on your planes forever, and you know who
you are, get them done and live your dream.  Don't worry about making
everything perfect now.  Build a strong and safe plane now and worry about
all the little additions that take all your time later.  You will be
wondering why you didn't get it done years ago and having the time of your
life.

I have flown 59 hours in 30 days and now it is time to take a little time
off from flying and fix some oil leaks, finish the wheel pants, and finish
my wing root fairings.  Then back to the KRs that I have neglected for far
too long.

Oh, and a very nice KR I had never seen before was at Oshkosh.  An older
couple that did not make long flights in it brought it to Fon Du Lac about a
thousand miles on a trailer.  They assembled it there and flew it to Oshkosh
for a few days.  They flew it back and put it on the trailer for the long
drive home when they left.  Now that is dedication to an Oshkosh dream.
