If the Corvair doesn't have a fifth bearing on the front of it, I'd highly recommend one bought from Dan Weseman at http://fly5thbearing.com/5thbearing.html . They're about a thousand bucks, but absolutely necessary in my book. > It doesn't have wet wings, it has a 20 gal header tank only. Will there be > a problem with W&B?

It's just less than optimal as far as CG shift from full to empty. There are lots of KRs out there flying that way, so don't sweat it. You can add wing tanks though, in the form of 4" or 5" thin-wall irrigation aluminum tubing with end caps welded in, inserted from the stub end of the wing, glassed into place, and plumbed into the existing system somehow. A 4" tube is good for about 4 gallons. If you haven't seen it, you may want to check out http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kopinion.html for some more general info on KR construction that may help.
