Dan,

As you consider when and if to install that Corvair, plan also on
adding fuel capacity.

I have 12 .5 in each outer wing panel, no header, with the 0-200 and
that seems comfortable. Depending on the wind, I can go out 200
miles and back without worrying about fuel.  I flight plan for 3 hours
with reserve.  Of course I can't set that long, or haven't, and most
cross country legs go 2 hours.  The one long distance trip I made
to Ohio was 415 NM and I stopped once each way.  Just made it
a quick fuel stop so as not to push the margins and stretch my
legs at the same time.
