JAG-2 Corvair Twin, running on film

Builders,

I got a quick note and a link to this video from Jim Tomaszewski, about the first engine run on the wing of his Corvair powered twin, The “JAG-2” :

.

“Hi William & Grace (ScoobE too), Here is a video of my first engine run of my
right engine on the airframe.  I hope to have the left engine running also by
next week.   I will then be checking the timing at WOT.  The Ellison runs very
well.”

  1. This is a truly impressive undertaking. I have been checking around the web for updates periodically. I wish him all the best and await the first flight.

  2. Way to go Jim! One can almost hear the roar of the two corvairs in tight formation slicing up the wild blue yonder, with a perfect sunset unable to escape their relentless pursuit.

    Can’t wait to see this one go uppity up up 🙂 and I look forward to the full report when the time is right. I will be sure to have my paparazzi camera and questions ready.

  3. I have not heard of any other corvair twins out there, This is an awesome project! Congrats on the first start and a little peek at success resulting from your dedication and hard work.

    1. Pat, I spoke to Jim last week, it is now 100% done , short of painting, which will be done after the 40 hours. It’s being inspected by the FAA this month, more updates at the start of summer
