A: Denotes readily available. These are items like Studs, Safety Shafts, Alternator Brackets, Manuals and DVDs. We now have these
on the shelf and they'll remain continuously available to ship your order within a day or two of receipt.
Keep in mind that if we're on our way to
Sun 'N Fun, Oshkosh or vacation, we'll fill your order upon our return.
B: Products available in 7-21 days. This includes items like Spinner Bulkheads, which are fabricated in batches for efficiency.
We're working toward
having them continuously on the shelf. Right now, if someone needs one immediately in order to make progress, I can fill their order by
making a single one.
C: These are products available in 21-60 days. Two notable examples here are Intake and Exhaust Systems. These have been very popular, and their
transition to being fabricated from 100% CNC components has been a challenge. However, as we work our way through the back orders, it is our
goal to move these to a B then an A availability product.
D: Special order items. This would be a unique item, one-of-a-kind motor mount, or product of reduced demand. Speaking with us
or Sensenich on the phone will give you a date to expect these items.
In the age of the Internet, delivery of our products is a little bit like airline flights. Nobody reports the airplane getting there safely; only
crashes are news. In the U.S. alone, there's about 30,000 domestic airline flights a day. Some years, not a single one is an accident. Very few
people chime in to a discussion group to say they got a part they ordered from us in a timely fashion. It's just not news. Conversely, we have
four or five vocal people who will type in on any discussion of delays and distort the stories to make every delay sound years long, denying some
airplane the Grand Champion trophy at Oshkosh. Some of these detractors have no Corvair engine, have never purchased anything from us and have
no dog in the fight, ah, but that's all part of the fun brought to you by the Internet. (Damn you, Al Gore!)
We do have many builders who have been very patient in waiting for parts from us, and we're very grateful for this.
I'm not proud of the delays we've encountered in developing parts
to a better standard, then flight testing them and adapting them to affordable mass manufacture. We've never compromised by sending out second
rate or untested pieces. The pieces we send out today
are exactly the kind of hardware I dreamed of making when I started this business many years ago.
This Page also includes links to enhanced descriptions of each item which include photographs
and drawings of most of the parts I offer for sale. As always, I would like to emphasize that every part I sell has been
extensively flight tested, and I have flown behind every one myself. For me, it's always been important to be able to say this.
An important note is that the parts I offer for sale are for Conversion Manual owners only. I sell a lot of
Conversion Manuals every year, and I explain to everyone that they are required to complete, sign and return the
Liability Statement and Registration pages contained in the Manual. A number of guys who are on a slow building
schedule or purchased the Manual for educational purposes take their time in returning their paperwork. But please note that I will not knowingly sell any physical part to anyone who does not have a Liability Statement on file with me. There are a few simple reasons for this, and since I treat all customers as intelligent friends, I'll explain.
1. Anyone who's read the first five pages of the Manual understands my position on risk management and personal responsibility in aviation. Unless you've read this and agree with it, you're not ready to make a purchase from me.
2. The Manual contains the full explanation of why and how the parts are used.
3. It's important that people understand that I do not allow people to duplicate my designs and resell them. I've only had two instances of this in eight years, but I'm sure the Liability Statement has deterred more than that.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for understanding my position. Loyal customer purchases of my
products have always furthered my Corvair research and development. In this way, each purchaser can justifiably
feel that they have made their own contribution toward the advancement of Corvair powered flight. It's this
support that keeps me working diligently in the hangar. I look forward to dealing with you as a customer, friend
and fellow aviator.
