Perhaps this will be the first entry. Around the end of November 2018 I decided to join the local (Bennington VT) EAA chapter 1325. I also decided that the Volksplane (VP-1) was the aircraft that fit my desires and modest woodworking skills. I purchased an engine stand on Craigslist and started looking for a VW Air cooled engine. With my decided aircraft project I also started looking for the required technical manuals. I bought a VW engine overhaul book by Tom Wilson.($18) I also found a very detailed builder's site
