KR> The 3100cc engine. It's baaaaaack...

[Mark Langford]

The "new" 3100cc engine works!First flight was on Wednesday, 22 takeoffs 
and landings on Friday, ending with a 15 knot crosswind landing on my home 
40' wide strip , and another two hours today with landings at four different 
airports.  Life is good, once again.  See 
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/phoenix/ for the gory details...

Sorry about that Joe...

 Aaw, That's alright. I'm glad that it is showing the true
potential. I still think that you need to get my Sterba on there. It will
knock the crap out of your RPM numbers but I think you will see every bit
of the speed and the climb will only reduce marginally. Fuel consumption
would drop at full throttle also with lower rpm. Your probably thinking
you like the rpm range for the power curve it gets you to. All trade
off's. I guess I should tell you that it is dangerous to fly in Alabama
without wheel pants.
