Chris, Just to give you some of my experience so far with my Revmaster VW;
I was able to successfully pick up a used Revmaster for my airplane for about $2000. Per Revmaster it was on a Quickie in the 1980s but they could not tell me how many hours it had on it. I spent about $1000 getting it ready to fly. The main cost was getting the Bendix Dual Magneto overhauled for $1000. I'm sure that is why I got the engine for only $2000. I have 800 hours on it now and have probably spent another $2,500 on it during those 800 hours. I replaced the Cylinder heads (replaced with Great Plains heads) at 400 hours for about $1000, had to replace the case due to a crack for $1000 (Revmaster case), and had the Magneto serviced and installed a new wiring harness (500 hour IRAN) for $500. Reliability has been good. None of the repairs I've done were because the engine failed.

I suspect an O-200 might be too heavy for my V-Witt.
