We are in the process of testing a new email notification system. Our forum email service has been down for some time. This system allows you to send messages to other forum members, sends an email when a post you're following changes, and other notices that are sent via email. Hopefully this new system will continue to work properly. So if you're interested in a particular post, you can now follow it and be notified when it changes or a new message is posted. That's rather nice, instead of having to check every few days to see if something new has been added. There is also another upgrade to the forum version. Only minor changes, but it's always best to get these changes made. We'll get to that as soon as possible. You can hide this announcement now that you've read it by clicking on the little "X" in the upper right corner of the announcement window. Thanks for being a member. We appreciate your participation.

Re: EAA Ultralight Days 2022 - Webinar- Care and Feeding of the 1/2 VW Engine
Interesting information. I was surprised by several things. I didn't realize that a wooden prop is mandatory with 1/2 VW's because of the vibration of the engine. I was also surprised about the comment about only 200 to 300 FPM climb rate. I expected that since the high end versions generate 45+hp and high torque that the FPM would be pretty good. The 200 to 300 FPM I think the presenter is stating this is for his Belite Cub. Much of the presentation is pretty basic engine information as the title suggests.
