Following up on the thread of a few days ago, I offered up the Stratus Subaru
and
Able VW as options. Doing a little more research along the VW lines I spoke
with Great Planes, who have 17 years of VW conversion experience - and
everything
to gain from recommending a conversion.
In addition to wondering why Europas use 3 blade less efficient (than two blade
wood) carbon fibre props, he offered the best advice yet (which has been
rattling
in the back of my mind) on engine selection: The Europa is an expensive
aircraft (from his VW aircraft perspective) and installing anything other than
the factory recommended engine will severely deteriorate the resale value of
the aircraft.
