Inquiry to any members of our "community" that may have attended the Speyer
event. Did anyone happen to encounter ANY aircraft being powered by a
German-developed BMW 1100RS conversion (engine/gearbox)? During his visit to
the Europa display at Oshkosh, a very nice gentleman from Holland (Europa
builder Jac van Heeswijk) reported that he has actually seen a Cherry flying
with the aforementioned powerplant? Has anyone else had any contact with the
owner/builder of that aircraft or the actual engine developer and, if so,
would you please share your impressions? -Ed Lindsay, A029, Las Cruces, NM, USA-
