Barnyard BOob -- advocate's devil Possibly, or maybe there just aren't THAT many builders here? You got THAT right, dude. I have flown behind a 1/2 VW and know someone who has 700+ hours on one in a J-3 Kitten. He flies out of State Line, SE of Rutherfordton, NC.

On my home field we have 12 (or more?) VW powered airplanes. That's out of about 100 planes based here.

According to Sonex completions at
http://www.sonex-ltd.com/completions.html only 28% are VW. NTSB reports that Jack Lockamy's VW powered Sonex had 'loss of engine power' after take-off. "... crank/sleeve/hub arrangement cut loose" reported elsewhere. Don "G. A. Loeffler" wrote in message ... about 60someting Sonexes build until today, about half of them fly behind a 2180cc VW -loef (www.loeff.de)
