Holy crap! How does Limbach do that?

It's a TWO STROKE engine. Compare it to Solo or Rotax engines and it
looks less remarkable.

Actually, it still looks pretty good by comparison -- one half to one
third the eight for the same horsepower. Another poster has pointed
out that the published weight does not appear to accuratley reflect
the installed weight of a functioning engine.


According to what I can find
on the history of Limbach, the design is based on a VW, but
is built from the ground up to be an airplane engine.

THIS Limbach engine has NOTHING in common with a VW engine.

Understood.
