Hi there ! I'm new to the list and I was just wondering if I could get someinfo: I am considering building 1 of 3 planes:I was just wondering how hard the corvair engines are to come acrosscompared to the VW engine that the volksplane uses, and how much it wouldcost to rebuild one to work in an aircraft. I was also wondering whatapproximate costs are to get the Air camper up and flying. (considering Ihave almost all the tools needed) Please include necessary parts for theengine considering if I could find an engine lying around somewhere for lowcost. Thanks alot in advance to anyone who replies :)Mike KayEngineering Systems and ComputingUniversity of Guelph________________________________________________________________________________

welcome to the group. I've been on this list for amonth and found that there is very good support forthe aircamper. I have learned much. I would like tobuild a corvair according to william wynns plans butI'm keeping an eye out for a bargain on a continentaljust to shorten my build time. I think both would workgood. cost for the corvair sounds like $2500. andtotal for the aircamper $4500 to $10000 depending onwhether you buy quick build components and what youpay for the power.--- Mike Kay wrote:> Hi there !

PT2S is two place but can be built single place.VP1 is single placePiet is 2 place as he is talking about the Real Pietenpol I think, not theRW1 UL Piet.In the RW8/11 plans I have you can also build the Vagabond version also a 2place like Piper Vagabond, See his video and does a walk a round of a StandOff Piper J-3 he built form same plans as a single place.But if you want good real Pietenpol information this is the right place tobe.Gordon----- Original Message -----________________________________________________________________________________
