Re: Model A vs Corvair engine weight

I had no idea the A was that much heavier.

I read that some people used the short fuse for the corvair when using a fuel tank behind the firewall. Is it still better to go with the longer fuse if using a fuel tank like that?

Model A vs Corvair engine weight

What is the weight difference between the Model A engine and a Corvair conversion? And do most build the fuselage with the added 6in if powering with a corvair engine?
