I owned 5 corvairs over the years. Never had a belt problem. I think it was a matter of keeping the "keepers" properly set.

It's still driven by a belt, Lycoming style. I sure wish people would at least
look into something before providing an opinion. Information is a great
thing to share, but we all know what they say about opinions...

GEE, ya know when I first made that comment about the "belt" I didn't
identify what it looked like, what it was used for, where it was located,
what its job was BUT it seems that EVERYBODY knew exactly what I was talking
about.
Could it be that EVERYONE who ever "drove" one had the same problem ?. Since
I had the Spider with a 4-speed, all you had to do was over rev it a bit
between gears & the belt was off. IMNSHO it was the twisting of the belt 90
degrees four times for every revolution that was the root cause of the
failures, not the fact that it was bent 90 degrees to connect the crankshaft
pulley to the fan pulley.
I bought one used to save on gas but soon I was back to driving my Corvette
again.
What does drive the alternator on the airborne version ?.
