Builders:
Here is our standard reference page with links to many stories about our Corvair Colleges. These colleges are one of the truly unique advantages of using a Corvair engine. No other engine choice has anything like the training, support, and progress on your own engine, all in a fun social atmosphere as we do at the colleges. Add to this that we travel you your region, and the colleges are free.
I like many kinds of engines, and I can understand why some people select engines like O-200s for their projects. But trust me, Continental Motors is not going to pack a trailer full of test equipment, staff it with an expert, drive to your area, hold a fun gathering, supervise your rebuild, test run it for you, maybe get you a demo flight in the same airframe your building, and send you home with new skills, an engine, and some new friends….all for free.
Neither is Rotax, nor any of the other imports. Those companies are in the engine selling business, which is fine if your goal is to buy something. But if your goal is to learn and become the master of your power plant, then you need to find people who have a long proven track record of teaching aviators. To a consumer perspective, ‘support’ is a quickly answered email about pricing. To an aviators perspective ‘support’ is the type of learning and training and achievement you will see in 100s of photos below. Which one you value is determined by the depth of your goals in aviation.

Good morning.
I am trying to get info on the possible CC on the West Coast. Also, Where and how can I get info on a 3000 cc Corvair in a Europa XS. I have heard that it was done early on by one of the early Corvair pioneers. Of course Europa is adamantly against anything but their recommendations. However if you read the fine print they do say they have flown on other engines as well. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Hank Payne

I’m up here in WA State, but I would vote for Chino, I know the area very well and have friends nearby. October is the month I would vote for. I have two cores that need to be disassembled so I would come to be a “quite” observer.
Maybe I can get Kurt Fabregas to come?
