Probably a Grat Plains engine, then. "Rear drive" refers to VW conversions
where the output is taken from the flywheel end of the engine. Not very
common, but some swear that it makes a lot of engineering sense (some
issues about torque and bearings, I believe). I think the Great Plains
version also has some kind of built-in damper in the rear drive adapter.
Other rear drives may have a shaft bolted on top of the engine, and a
reduction belt at the flywheel end.

As of Sunday night, there is still a 2 place mid engine sonerai being
sold on ebay with a 2180 engine. Reading the questions, the seller
responded that the propeller was a " rear drive ".
So.. he must have had the engine reversed ? How common is this?
Reading on plans from Sunday's posts.. must be pretty common for
builders to end up with multiple sets. I have the original set of plans
that came with my basic KR2, and a unused 2004 set of KR2S plans.
