ALL the auto conversion people have had delivery problems at one time or another. My advice to anyone that wants to do an auto conversion is to start the firewall forward forward first. Get your core and start building an engine. WHEN, you have part delivery problem you can play the appropriate cards to deal with suppliers. While waiting you can go work on the airframe. With a little luck the engine will be ready shortly after the airframe is done.
WW has made available a great deal of information for a very reasonable price. His book is a must read for anyone contemplating an auto conversion no matter what engine they will use. He has done a lot of research and has some very innovative ideas.
I can understand your frustration with conversion parts. I have been there as well with engines other than Corvair. It is obvious that Fly Corvair is going through some growing pains. Be patient. I am sure WW will come through as soon as he can. I know that's not much constellation if it's you, your money and your project being tied up. If you are having problems with WW I think you should take those to him . This list is about sharing information; not bashing suppliers that are having scheduling problems.
Please understand this is only one mans opinion. Opinions are like A holes. Everybody got one and everybody is intittled to one. This opinion and a buck will get you a cup of coffie at McDonnalds.
Welcome to the wonderful exciting world of EXPERIMENTAL avation. I truly hope you can solve your hombuilding problems soon and get that thing in the air. I wish you blue skies and calm days for flight testing.
