I posted one. Dunno if it's the one you saw or not.
That's the engine that went into my red and white parasol.

I am considering the Cygnet as a project.and was wondering what your
thoughts are on the plane, please?

Bob


It's a very nice little airplane.
Steel tube fuselage, wood wing, slightly swept forward for CG.

The simple fact that it carried two on a VW engine (2180) is impressive
enough, but the builder wanted better climb, so I bought the VW and he
installed a Continental A-65.

With the A-65 in it, it will accelerate and climb way better.
Perky, even!
