No. That was when I had the Zenith carb that was going overly rich in the mid range and fouling plugs. Happened while doing touch and gos when on downwind.

That sounds like the one that ended up in a tree! I've done a fair bit of flight testing in N56ML, and one of those was minimum speed to stay aloft. That is usually around 2000 rpm, at my usual 1000 pounds or so average flight weight (full fuel). Desktop Dyno says my engine should be producing about 65 horsepower at that rpm. I'll be testing N891JF soon enough, and the MGL iEFIS has a horsepower readout function on it, so it'll be interesting to see what minimum flight speed is on it, given the lighter weight. I could even check it again Desktop Dyno predictions for correlation, come to think of it. More testing fun! One thing I will give VWs is that their intake ports are more isolated to a single cylinder at the head (assuming dual ports), so effects of an open valve on a cylinder are likely not as detrimental as on a Corvair where three cylinders share a common manifold...
