Builders;
With Jim and Ginger Tomaszewski’s JaG-2 twin on the cover of Sport Aviation, a number of people have asked questions about its development. The feature story in the magazine is long, but only enough to cover the highlights of a 9 year build.
.
Over the years I shared a number of stories about the project, and for the benefit of the builders who like to see where things come from, I have collected the stories here. Included are video links and images that will give a lot of insight to this ambitious project that has become a proven aircraft.

Above, Ginger and Jim at Corvair College #31 in Barnwell SC, 2014. Between them, their matching 3,000cc Corvairs. The engines were finished and test run at the College.

Jim and Ginger really are the super nice people you see in the video. If you want to understand Jims line of thinking and Craftsmanship, get a coffee and sit down and go through the links above. You may not be planning a Twin, but if you are a traditional homebuilder at heart, Jims determination and positive attitude are all qualities you can directly relate to.

Thanks. Because of your posts, we’ve been privileged to get much more of the story. At least, because of this use, we’re finally, seeing higher visibility of the use of Corvairs as flight engines.
Oops, I shoulda said, “…because of this use by the Toaszewskis, we’re seeing higher visibility in the aviation press of the use of Corvairs as flight engines.
Great article that highlights both Jim and William’s engineering prowess.
