Design and development

The engine is based on the Volkswagen air-cooled engine or the Wasserboxer. It is extensively modified for aircraft use and all the parts are custom made. The engine is derived from the certified engines produced by the same manufacturer and used in several motorgliders and small aircraft.[1] The engine can be delivered with aluminium or magnesium casing (Wasserboxer-casing or the casing from the beetle engine), where the aluminium casing weighs 7 kg more.

Performance

gollark: And it's time-consuming.
gollark: Even with AE2 it's still annoying because you run out of patterns constantly.
gollark: OpenComputers does the same thing. For a CPU you need a control unit and ALU and stuff, which need microchips, which need transistors, which need paper for some reason.
gollark: Often the components then have weird components you need to craft, and while the actual material cost isn't high you spend ages fiddling with machines and crafting tables.
gollark: It's where you have to craft an excessive amount of components for something.
