I was doing flight testing at Grob outside of Munich this fall and was
stopped cold..there in the hanger was a Grob 109B "motorglider"..and the
powerplant was exposed.
It was a a 1983 vangon 2.0 liter fitted witih dual strombergs and a prop
drive, magneto etc etc...

The advertised HP is 90 and it's listed as a 2.5 liter...you hot rod types
might want to see about buying a set of "out of time" heads, cylinders
etc......

Well *I* thought it was cool.......
