Hi group
Have found the aircraft of my dreams. Has a decent cruise , short take

off
and landings and a dependable VW engine.
Am looking for anyone that has any knowledge of the Cygnet (name means

young
swan) or is interested in the aircraft.

Dependable and VW used in the same sentence? Huuuumm. IMHO, they are not
reliable in an auto, let alone stuffed into an airplane, and making more HP
than the heads can handle.

The thing I always heard about VW engines was, "They are so easy to work
on, anyone can do it." There might be a reason for that. They NEED to be
worked on!.

By the way, how many HP does the plane specs say they need? You might want
to google some R.S. Hoover, or R. V. Hoover articles on the subject. 45 HP
is a number that pops into my head.
