Nice.

It's a real shame that the typical VW 'expert' knows so little about
engines :-) The ulpower people have gone out of their way to provide
easily understood explanations of how to measure torque; of torque vs
power, of Specific Fuel Consumption and so forth.

Indeed, these things are so simple -- and so fundamental to engines --
that it is difficult to understand why the EAA does NOT endorse a
program of publicly testing engines at its annual convention. The
'Experimental - Amateur-built' license is supposed to foster EDUCATION
and there are few things more educational than allowing the public to
see such demonstrations with their own eyes.
