What's the appropriate engine for a Headwind? Personally, I'd be looking for something to spin a bigger prop slower. 40-50 hp at 2500 RPM should do it. Is there a recipe for that other than an A-65 (which is a little too much engine for the Headwind) or a Lycoming O-145 which also seems like a bit much. I'm not a big fan of direct drive VW's spinning 3000+ RPM in this application, and I have no idea if Stewart's "Maximizer" VW PSRU is a viable solution.
Obviously, the Verner radials would have been a good fit.
