I see a bunch of VW junk being swapped out for something more reliable. Subaru is the cats ass in the experimental aircraft world.

My uncle had an experimental single seater kit and it looked like an Onan on it. Believe it or not there is a faction out there keeping Corvair motors around with their backwards props. One man's junk is another man's treasure I guess.

Well I would agree that it would make a great boat anchor. I don't think I would want to fly a plane under VW AC power. Heck I don't even care for them in my buggy. Heck I have even considered Suby power for my 63 Beetle.
