Re: Aircooled VW aircraft engines
The best person to speak to would be Ivan at Volkspares (as JohnHoffe pointed out)
We're currently busy with a 2,3lt type 1 engine that has been turbo charged for a bush king plane. The engine has been twin plugged and running a distributor less ignition.

Re: Aircooled VW aircraft engines
Thank you for the tips!
I will follow up with Ivan and Arno. Has anyone had the opportunity to get their hands / eyes on a Pauter engine? Seems outrageous and extreme...
