In the Corvair world what have others used for fuel filters?  I'm approaching inspection and first flight and plan to use a Summit Racing 40 micron in-line filter.  How will this affect fuel flow.…Continue

I recently purchased the new Zenith rubber donut system and wanted to share a couple of observations.1.  For those on the fence about the upgrade there are a couple of considerations.  If you haven't installed your Corvair engine mount yet, definitely upgrade before installing the engine mount while it's still about a 30 minute job.  I have about 15 hours on my Cruzer when the bungee cord failed.  I don't know why it failed I suspect it dry rotted during my 4 year 3 month build.  It's easier to…See More

Hi David,

Hi David,

Glad we're connected; the workshop was an eye opener in terms of the project.

We have a 750 STOL kit in the shop with the horizontal and elevator in work. Also the Piet project underway. I found another Corvair core so here we go. The 3 liter we've started will go in the 750.

We can be reached at 402-274-7530, 402-274-8038(cells) or 402-274-6639.

best,

Harold and Edi
