Sounds to me if your figures are correct that the VW would be a betterengine and could even swing a larger prop than the C-65As in all cases you will find people will justify what they like even thoughother things are good.

Certainly I'm no expert either, but the A 65 and VW 65 would not be usingthe same prop. The VW prop will be quite a lot shorter.
