Exhausted, but happy, Grace and I stop for gas in Janesville WI, after 10 days of travel and camping at Brodhead, and Oshkosh 2016. Home still lies 1,250 miles distant. In the last 20 years we have driven more than 250,000 miles traveling to airshows and Colleges.

I have been continuously in business longer than 90% of the companies in our industry. Here is the secret of longevity: I don’t expect the work to be pleasurable nor particularly lucrative. Instead, my persistence is fueled by the fact I find the work Rewarding, a much more reliable motivator than fun or money. If you chose a Corvair, my support is based on your willingness to learn and build, it is not driven by the thickness of your wallet. -ww.
