I am no expert, but I've been looking into different engines for my
plane over the years. If you take a stock VW and build it upto aircraft
ability, add whats needed for extra HP and through in a reduction drive
and radiator (filled), doesn't the weight come close to a corvair six
cylinder without all the extras? Wouldn't it also be a simpler design
with less to go wrong?
