What kind off maximum efficiency numbers are you guys getting? At what speed and with what engine setup?
I am in negotiations on a partially built kit with a rebuilt 1600 vw motor. I will probably enlarge displacement on it, but want to see if a certain combo gives better economy than others in actual real world numbers. I have read that peak efficiency is usually near peak climb speed, which is probably slower than most kr pilots zip around. It may be hard to get numbers unless there is another efficiency enthusiast like myself. I will deffinately do some experimentation with my own plane but since I am just starting to build who knows when that will be...
