    Default Corvair in a Kitfox

    If you followed a previous thread over in general discussion you know that about a year ago I purchased a basket case Kitfox Safari N852PG. Turns out the motor an O200 which was "guaranteed to run fine" ran fine with 10lbs oil pressure.

    So during the deliberations as to how I go about fixing the issue my mechanic, Joe Sheldon at LSA aviation, suggested a Corvair. (I'm sorry I don't have a lot of time to work on it myself as I'm constantly on the road.) After some research I agreed it would be something I would like to see happen. So here is where it starts.

    Joe has some experience with Corvair and a lot of experience with Kitfox. He found a suitable core locally in Oregon and so began the journey.
