 Generally speaking gear redrives are a better long  term solution and driving the prop off the flywheel end of the crank like the  engine was designed to drive a car just seems a better idea.

  

 The down side would be:

 1 How many are there in operation are they  reliable?

 2 How well is the vibration damper  tuned.

 3 The Kolb engine mount would need to be modified  to mount the engine turned 180 degrees.

 4 The VW engine is a bit heavy and gear redrives  are heaver.

 5 Cost?

 6 You are the test pilot, I'm done testing new  redrives.
