So the question's are.does anyone have experience (good or bad) with a VW
engine in an Aircamper? What other scratch build planes work well with VW

same price range has a VW (which I would be getting used and rebuilding
myself)?


I strongly suspect you won't get enough thrust out of the VW. People have
tried them on Fly Babies and they haven't worked well at all.

Best airplanes for VWs are those which were specifically designed for them.
Ryan Young maintains a good list:

He also has a ton of good information on the engines themselves at:
