Texas Builders Getting Ready For Corvair College

Out of the total 77 or so Panther builders, we have a half dozen in Texas and some of them are planning using a Corvair as their powerplant.  Here is a photo of Brian Sowell’s Panther Corvair 3.0L engine – with SPA’s 5th bearing housing just being installed.

Brian is building a 3.oL Corvair with an SPA 2nd Gen 5th Bearing, Machined Case, Cylinder Heads, Cylinders, Pistons and new Connecting Rods. He plans to test run his engine at the Corvair College in San Marcos TX April 1st-3rd.

Here are some photos of his cylinders, pistons and connecting rods from SPA being installed.

The next Corvair College will be in San Marcos, TX April 1st – 3rd.  The sign up is now full for this college – but if you are interested in signing up for any others in 2016 you need to do it now!  HERE IS THE LINK

Dan Weseman will be attending the CC#37 @ Chino, CA  April 22nd – 25th and CC#39 @ Barnwell, SC Nov. 11th – 13th.

NEWS – SPA has become the sole distributor for FlyCorvair conversion parts.  This transition started on February 1st, 2016 and we will be facillitating the ordering and shipping for FlyCorvair.  These parts are still the tried and true William Wynne Corvair conversion parts.  We have simply taken over the customer service end of the ordering and shipping of these parts.  Please see the new ordering website HERE.  If you have any part inquiries you can email sales@FlyCorvair.com.

Thanks for following!

My Panther build was really a lot of fun. I completed the entire project in my two car garage then moved it to the airport for the first flight. I always get comments over the radio about what a great looking plane it is. It's a real blast to fly.

I was able to build my Panther in my basement and carried the finished pieces up one at a time through my living room and kitchen into a tiny 1 car garage where it now sits with its wings folded. The folding wings will allow me to share a hangar and transport it to any field for flight testing. I can't imagine building anything else in my limited space.

Paul spent a lot of time with my friend and I on the Panther. Looks to be a great new product and I came away feeling confident they are building and supporting a very strong, safe, and well built plane.

After working with Rachael and Dan on getting my Corvair engine going for my Sonex, I have decided to build a Panther. Here's why: the support is outstanding! Phone calls are answered and texts are responded to almost immediately! After experiencing building three different aircraft from three different companies and presently converting the Sonex, I can say this from experience....these guys are first class!!
