Thrust Test Of VW Engine
This is a full power thrust test of the VW engine that I am selling on Ebay. As you can see , it produces 205 pounds of pull . This is plenty for a light weight single wing plane however this Fisher Youngster plane has lots of wind drag so we need to swing a larger prop. More power SCOTTY!!
