Also when you decide to continue with buying kits give me a shout I got a extra tail, aft fuse, sport wing kit I'm trying to sell for way cheaper than you can buy new. They also come with hardware kits for all (pm for info) If you decide to go with the corvair I'm sure you'll be happy. I know the 3.3l is my plan.

Congratulations on your new Panther tail kit !! It goes together pretty fast. It's a fun build because you can see real progress with almost every work session. But it's even more Fun to Fly!

We have Panther LS, S/N 083, with a Lyc O-235, 108 max HP, long wing, ~800 lbs empty weight, and I fly it Light Sport. No worries keeping it well within LSA weight limits. I've flown it a few times off grass, which it handles very well.
Visibility & Handling are superb. You're gonna love it!

A Corvair is a great choice but before buying anything I recommend you get and read William Wynne's Corvair conversion manual, and/or discuss with Dan. The 140 HP cores are not the best to start with.
