I'm thinking this would be an awesome retirement project for my dad. It would be sweet with a 150 horse 2270 in it!

Any of you pilots have any experience building or flying one of these?

Try Kit Fox search - they're powered by proven Rotax Ultralight & small aircraft engines made for the task. A project you two could tackle together, then enjoy the old school type flying of a Sport AC which harkens back to the old Piper Cubs.

As I said in my 1st post & echoed by many posters since - VW & auto engines really aren't made for aviation, even if some apply them to the task.
