Did you make them from aluminum? If so, how did you weld them? What thickness on the materials? I like that design alot. Why did you use bolts, and nuts, for the rod ends, instead of rivets? Hope that is not too many questions. For those who have not seen his controls, you should take a look. He's on the list near the bottom, right above me.

Hope you lucky ones enjoyed Oshkosh. I was saddened but not surprised to hear of the Broken Cranks in a number of Corvair engines. As you know the early VW had similar problems, this is a major side effect with direct drive set ups. VW Engines Australia has now placed a few pages on their web site offering their solutions to help you guys out, and hopefully reduce the possible of forced landings due to Crank Failure. We were all very please to hear that Mark Langford had a safe Emergency landing , after his crankshaft failure. If you open the VW Engine site http://www.vw-engines.com/ Scroll down on the left side to CORVAIR CONVERSIONS, then more info by scrolling on the left to CRANK SHAFTS. Both of these pages will give you information you may not have known. Safe flying.
