I'm well aware of the concerns about the Corvair crankshaft being able
to take the stresses of turning a prop, but the guys flying Corvair
engines are technically rigorous and no crazier than the typical
experimental/homebuilt aircraft type. It would probably behoove the
Corvair community to have a tighter relationship with them.
There's a guy who seems to be leading the commercial end of the
endeavor:

and here's a guy who has built an exceptional engine and been flying
it for a while:

These are all, of course, very small homebuilt aircraft...one or
barely two seaters as long as the two aren't heavy people.
