Hello All,

I'm hoping you guys can help me a couple of questions.

I'm building a slow, draggy, STOL'ish single seater (Neirrh XXL in the build log section). I've got a GPAS 1835 with a shrink fit prop hub.

Does putting a PSRU on an 1835 make sense? (I've heard the extra thrust wouldn't be worth the extra weight) Could I still hand prop it? The engine is brand new, zero time, would I be wasting money if converted it to a 2100? Which is the best redrive for a VW?

Thanks
Fritz
