First Flight: Corvair Cruzer
"My Corvair Cruzer first flight was extremely successful and it flew hands off no trim."
Zenith Cruzer - Tuk Tuk Toucan - First Flight at Buckingham Airpark FL 59 in Ft Myers, FL
Thanks to many individuals, advisors and vendor partners who helped make this a great success story.

Ramesh - congrats on your completion and first flight.
Darn - that Corvair engine sounds good. I am considering using a Corvair engine on my Cruzer. How do you like it? Did you go the WW route with engine parts or in a different direction? Also - any comments on how the aircraft responds during landing? Approach speeds? Did you have to carry power through the landing? - Thanks
