Corvair conversion engines by
Cal Vanize
As my research continues, I have been investigating possible engines for
a 601XL. The Corvair engines looked like a good candidate. The reports

engine originally installed, what effect will it have on handling, and
what changes in...

1 Fatal ...r.a.h or r.a.p? by
Montblack
I sometimes cut-n-paste crash victim's names into Google.groups.rec.aviation
to see if that person has ever posted here. Too ghoulish?
One person's name, about 6 years ago, came up. IIRC, his family was in the
plane.
With the spate of recent crashes it got me wondering, again: People here...

Anyone dissapointed with Oshgosh? by
Lou Parker
I'm building a wood and fabric plane and would have loved to talk to
others about their planes but there were none to be found. I looked
for manufacturers of wooden kits but only Fisher had the gonads to
show their product.
If the wood kits are as good as we are led to believe, why don?t they
show...

Turbine air start -- too cold? by
Juan Jimenez
The engine on my homebuilt aircraft is a small French turbine, a Microturbo
022 Couguar (one version behind the TRS-18-046). It starts using good ol'
air impingement, which the manual specs out to 145 psi, 1.21 lbs volume.

I'd be grateful if anyone can direct me towards links about the relative
safety of different types of homebuilt aircraft. Not figures I can use to
prove to myself that flying a homebuilt is safe, but a discussion of all

At some point down the line I expressed interest in a VW powered 701.
One guy said he figured a VW would melt down in an aircraft cowling
when producing no more that 50HP.
He provided a link to Bob Hoover's blog,...
