Well, that just leads me to way more questions for the sages of the list:

         How much wing area do I need to lift my Westie off the ground?

         Do I need a bigger wing on the left, to provide extra lift for the
camper equipment (and the driver)?

         How long a runway to get airborne? (I should get this info before
I have the driveway re-paved)

         What is the airspeed of an unladen Vanagon? (just European, I
don't have a S. African van).

         I don't know if this will affect the answers, but I have an '85
2WD westie with an original 1.9 wasserboxer.

Happy Batter-Dipped Deep Fried-Day!
