I read an article in EAA magazine about the Legal Eagle design on BetterHalfVW website that sparked my interest... I am researching information about building my own 1/2 VW engine an intend to purchase the video tape that is offered. I am curious if anyone has information or knows someone that has performed this task and would pass on information pertaining to this task. 

Thanks Randy

Randy,

Before you plunk down bucks on a one half VW, you might want to check 

out the Big Twin Generac conversion that Valley Engineering is 

selling.  They have done some tweaking to the engine and added a 

redrive.  In fact they have one on a Legal Eagle.  They also make 

props and some type of airboat.  I have flown behind a 1/2 VW, unless 

your light and the planes light, performance will be marginal.
