I'm also not sure what the nature is of the "myth" you are complaining
about.

The one where an articled engineer insists 65hp @ 7200 rpm is exactly
the same as 65hp @ 1800... and equally appropriate for powering a
Piper 'Cub.' (You'll have to go back at least ten years on Usenet if
you want to pick up this particular thread, and to eScribe/Yahoo for
the articles posted to specific Newsgroups.)

In explaining why this was not true -- and in numerous other articles
about VW conversions -- I've used terms appropriate to the reader's
level of understanding... always sure to set an engineer's hair on
fire :-) If you'll take the trouble to read the foundation articles
you will see where the use of valid terms lead to conflicts with what
the typical American homebuilder 'knows.'

Robert,

You will not believe this one. Or - maybe you will?

A VW on a Cub...

Not flying, of course.
