Hi Jay, Flew a motor faulke with a limbach in it. 60hp! Smoothest VW derived motor I have ever seen. What else do you want to know. Maybe I can help and maybe I can't.

Thanks Gary - VW conversions generally have their problems relating to TBO and in some cases single ignition ; it seems that smaller Limbach motors are the motor of choice for motor gliders, but the larger motors ( eg the L2400 EFI0) are not considered for standard recr planes. I guess it is a price/ support issue ; if the prices approach the Jab and Rotax, then I understand the situation

Mr Limbach used to get VERY upset if you called his engine a converted VW..which of course it was........probabily a Euro thing...................................................
