Corvair Powered Experimental Aviation

his year I am going back to flight training with the intention of adding an IFR rating to my pilot privileges. I spent over a year getting the plane and panel ready for this training. Follow along as I move through this training over the next few months. In this video I spent time not under the hood learning the integration of the Garmin GPS 175 to the GRT EFIS. One problem I keep running into is getting the autopilot to track the hold course that the GPS flight plan is sending. I have spent time using the Garmin Simulator and I can not replicate the issue there. I think a few more flights using the system may help me to understand the system.

New year and new goals. This year I am going back to flight training with the intention of adding an IFR rating to my pilot privileges. I spent over a year getting the plane and panel ready for this training. Follow along as I move through this training over the next few months. This is the 9th Training session and I am bringing more automation to the cockpit. With more automation, more gremlins to address and new systems to understand.

I spent over a year getting the plane and panel ready for this training. Follow along as I move through this training over the next few months. I've made my way through most of the syllabus, and now we are in the process of building efficiency. Moving forward I have some additional upgrades to show you all and hopefully I can get the audio sorted out...

I spent over a year getting the plane and panel ready for this training. Follow along as I move through this training over the next few months. This is the 7th Training session and I get to fly under the hood with a partial panel, plus unusual attitudes.

This is the 6th Training session and we knock out the 250nm flight with 3 different approaches at 3 different airports (well we did 4).

At Oshkosh 2023 I approached CamGuard with the idea of making a video looking at the performance of their product. They loved the idea especially since I work in the oil analysis industry. With that in mind they sent me a case of product to test and make this video. The results speak for themselves. For more information on their product visit their website at https://aslcamguard.com/aviation/ @aslcamguard7129 For information on the Corvair Engine Conversion check out @WWFlycorvair or www.flycorvair.net

We had to remove the wings and bring this back to my hangar on a trailer. This one was a project to get done.

I took a trip to Scottsdale KSDL in my LSA to take care of some business that I could not in Yuma Az. These little LSA's get the job done.

This is the final build video for the Budget Corvair Aircraft Engine.

This is another installment of the YouTube series I put together a few years ago about my budget Corvair build. In this video I get the valve train installed, but make an error along the way that was called out on social media. SO I went back and made it right.

This is the final video showing what I got completed during the @experimentalaircraftChannel's 31 day build challenge.

more progress on the canopy installation

This is a remaster of a build series I did for Youtube a few years ago. In this video I get the 5th bearing installed, Pistons and Cylinders, and Heads torqued down

More progress towards getting the canopy installed.

This is a remastered engine build series that I had done for YouTube. In this video I got the valve job for the budget build completed at Hummel Engine. Hummel Engine specializes in VW aircraft engines, including half VW engine conversion. This is the second time I have had Scott work on an engine build for me.

The Experimental Aircraft Channel issued the annual challenge to spend 31 days making the most progress on your aviation builds. This is the first installment of the challenge for this year. I am trying to get the aircraft much closer to complete.

This is an older series I put together for my Youtube channel but remastered for Rumble. I finally got the pistons installed in the cylinders. On step closer to completion.

This is an older video series I put together on Youtube but have remastered for Rumble. This is a budget WW Flycorvair engine build for an experimental aircraft.

This is part 7 of the YouTube series I did about building a budget Corvair aircraft engine. This has been remastered for Rumble. In this video I get the case closed.

This is a remastered YouTube Series I put together about building a budget Corvair aviation engine. This is part 6 of the series. In this video I complete all of the parts prep necessary for closing the case.

I attended the Scottsdale Aviation Expo since I was already in town. Not bad for a small aircraft sales event. Pretty cool planes! But...I did need my weekend Altitude therapy once I got back. Stay on the lookout for new content and projects coming up soon. Along with getting the HDS closer to complete.

I was able to make a trade for the 140 heads that I had for the correct set of 110 heads that I wanted. I met Mike from Mikes Corvair. He has a great line of parts for the conversion process. This was an older series I did for YouTube. I have remastered the content just for Rumble,
