Sequence of pictures each hyper-linked to my eaa builder log which show details of Corvair flight engine short block assembly.

Corvair Flight Engine Short Block Assembly (corvair750.com)

A look in the review mirror: 2020

Finished up the empennage and the slats and the flaperons. Was doing some research on Alan Shepard and relate some imperfections to a dispute between Alan and Werner Von Braun about whether Freedom 7 was ready to go or not.

How a noob learns to move a heavy short block onto an engine stand when working alone:

Empennage stuff largely done. Maybe not "done done", but 99.9%. I'm not connecting the stabilizer and elevator yet. I'll be off to Zenith soon to pick up the other parts of the kit. A 13 hour drive ... but I've been wanting to visit Zenith since I first discovered them 15 years (or longer) ago. Demo flight? By all means ; )

I'm almost done with the empennage, but here's how my rudder build went back before the apocalypse:

About 3 weeks ago finished the rudder. Failed to take account lead time so have been reading Sky Ranch, and did short block Corvair assembly. I'm looking for some 95 or 110 HP heads if someone has some rebuildable cores, hit me up I'll take them off your hands ; )

Rudder on parts rack…
