I will second that because the after market resources for the VW continues to evolve making the engine a better engineered and completely different engine.
My engineers' opinion, without actual flight time. Ronald R.

Below is a message from Steve Bennett that I'm forwarding for him. From: STEVE bennett To: kr...@mylist.net Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 10:03 AM Subject: RE: KRnet Digest, Vol 347, Issue 530 I think I need to inject 2 cents worth for those KR folks flying VW's here. A corvair does weigh more than a 2180cc VW. If one looks at the diameter and pitch that the 100 HP Corvairs are running on KR, it is not significantly more than a 2180cc VW. In my KR 1.5 I run a 54 x 52 and will turn up to 3550 WOT in the air. After more than 2000 hours of flight time sitting behind a VW engine in a KR, I am more than satisfied with the VW and the performance. I am glad to be flying a VW engine. Another biased opinion.
