I'm a 64 year old great grandpa (I cheated just a little) in Minden, LA. Married all my life (39th year, but I really didn't start living 'til I met her). 7 daughters, 17 grands, 8 GREATS! Life is FUN!

Planning on building a plane sometime in the next few years. The one think I'm firm on is that it'll have a Corvair engine. The Sonerai looks interesting, to say the least! I've never seen one up close, are there any in the Ark-LA-Tex?
 
There is a fly baby for sale on Barnstormers now with a 100HP corvair engine I think for like $9,000. Could sell the airframe and keep the engine and perhaps come out with reasonable dollars for the engine. Or keep and fly while you’re building and then do the engine swap in the future.

Just a thought
