Any news on the improved 3.3L? Flight #'s, GPH, TRUE AS @ MSL? Had to have been some conversations and hanger flying around the camp fire at OSH.

I went by SPA Monday, 11 July and spoke to Dan and Rachel. The engine has been installed on the prototype and, if I understood him correctly, Dan was planning to fly it Tuesday, 12 July. Haven't heard how that test flight went, but I'm sure they're trying to ensure any bugs are worked out before Oshkosh.

3.3 L "Stroker" Corvair

Greetings All, Just (re)watched the "stroker" test run video (posted 1 year ago, today). Was wondering if Dan (and/or associates) had had an opportunity to install one and do some flight testing? Love to see, hear, and learn more about this version. Based on the power vs. displacement progression of the 2.7, 2.85, and 3.0 Liter versions, will the 3.3 produce 140 HP? (assuming a linear function , which, I know, is a substantial assumption!) Congrats to all the builders who have made so much progress / many completions. Thanks in advance for any (more) info / videos re: the Corvair option.
