The Redrive is made by Valley Engineering llc (Culver Props) and also
marketed by Great Plains. It was probably Gene Smith at Oshgosh you saw
flying the VW redrive. They have a video on their website if you can find
it. Valley Engineering llc, Culver Props, etc. etc. If you find the
right home page there are prop tip speed calculators and the works. There
is also one of their short field videos on Lazair's kitfox page. See you
at Arlington!!! Ron NB Ore

All,
I find the 370 lbs of static thrust very interesting. That is the same
number my buddy with his 100 hp 912s got when testing his sensinech prop
setup on his airplane. Assuming both of their testing information is
accurate, that is a pretty impressive static thrust number for a VW.
A few years back I saw a one-off Super Stol design powered by a VW (with
redrive) do some astonishing takeoffs and landings at Oshkosh. That pretty
much proved to me the engine has potential on STOL airplanes like ours.
I'd been hoping someone would try one on an Avid or Kitfox one day.
