Ultravair flyers?
« on: June 26, 2017, 09:40:42 AM »
Anyone here have a flying ultravair?  Having a surplus of Corvair stuff and an absolute deficit a Volkswagen things, I've decided to go with the ultravair.  Does anyone have one flying, and are there any concerns about the crank breaking like flight Corvair engines to do when they don't have a fifth bearing?

I've only heard of one that flew. Supposedly the plans are available online. The half VW has much more support in the community and between the two is your best bet to finish in a reasonable amount of time. 
Good luck with which ever one you choose.
