If I remember well, Colin Hales keeps complaining in his diary of the lack
of reliability of that engine. I suppose it's teething problems that have
been solved since, since Jabirus now sell like hot cakes. Yet,, you still
can build a couple VWs for the price of a Jabiru...

Hi,
have a look at http://www.leburg.freeserve.co.uk/
I know of several VWs flying with these jobbies, everybody very happy.
However if I had the budget, and was at your build stage I would ignore VW
engines and look at a Jabiru. The 80HP motor is approx 60kg ( 140 lbs )
inc starter. Colin Hales flew UK to Oz in his - 2 up, that's good enough
for me.
