Are you sure it's the VW's butt that's the problem? big grin

OOOOH! THAT HURTS! :-)

Although I am slightly over one standard FAA person, not by much.

I do tend to believe Vwub's articles that peg the VW at around 40 hp as
much
more realistic. That is a lot of weight for that amount of power.

Let's put it this way... I don't have any room to talk

As far as the engine is concerned I know it's 2180cc, which everyone calls
75hp, though I'm pretty sure that's takeoff power and not continuous.

Using the standard 2 cubic inches per HP that is common to Lycomings and
Continentals, 2180cc = 133 ci = 66.5 HP, which is probably a more realistic
number.

BTW I hope reliability isn't too bad.. I'm gonna be flying behind a Great
Plains 2180cc VW soon!
