If you gotta fly behind VW power... It appears the 'Great Pains' version is one of the best. You will give us a Pirep from time to time, right? 3rd party talk without the walk is soooo meaningless. FWIW.... I've seen a lot of neat canards at Ottawa Filed of Dreams. I favor the 0-200 sort naturally, but the most curious specimen was a single place powered by an ONAN of 18 hp? ARRGH..... Barnyard BOb -- 50 successful flight years I've heard good things about Great Plains. In fact, the insurance company I got a quote from would only insure Revmaster, Aeroconversion and Great Plains conversions. One of the good things about VWs, aside from their simplicity is... there's are a lot of hours and history behind them, so that failure modes are well known. Knowing what to look for and what can go wrong is a big advantage. It's not enough to know now things work when everything goes right, knowing how things work when they don't is just as important! Personally, I find the twin-unreliable engine thread disturbing. In some PRODUCTION twins, the best you can say for having two engines is that it doubles your chance of an engine failure ![]() Will keep the group up-to-date. I gotta get it signed off again first.
