I have done it several times and I have flown in Rob Schmidts with Rob and me and I know he flys his mom sometimes.
I have a Great Plains 2180 and I think that what Rob has. You probably should go ahead and get the large remote oil cooler as it seems that most guys running a VW thats built to a 2180 has oil temp issues. But most have solved them with a big oil cooler. I think they are a great reliable engine and have proven themselves over many years on several different air frames. Dan Heath has a type 4 VW for sale and I would love to have it. Knowing Dans pension for perfection my bet is its a great motor. If I was looking and wanted reliable power, I would snap Dans motor up. I wish I had the extra money to buy it anyway.

List-Post: [email protected] Date: Mon, Jun 25, 2012 10:57 pm I am at a point where I need to make a decision about an Engine. Does anyone have any experience flying 2 people (380 lbs or so) behind a 80 HP VW? Does anyone have a Flywheel Drive VW on their KR2? Am I asking to much from a VW to pull 2 people?
