There was a builder that had a MK III with a VW at Oshkosh 2014. I only got the
one picture. Does anyone know who the builder is and whether he has a published
log?

Nonetheless, I thought someone might know who it was or have additional info about
the plane.

The plane is a Kolb MKIIIXtra with a redrive VW on it. The construction
looked very good.
I talked to the guy quite a bit and made some observations he didn't like.
Another guy that is helping on the build decided that the latest series III
Valley redrive wasn't up to their standards so he built a new redrive that
looks similar to a series II cog belt redrive. The series II valley drive
had very nasty harmonics issues with my Powerfin prop and this one looked
like it would also. Generally a light wood prop wasn't too bad but my
Powerfin didn't do well. This guy is using a Warpdrive so maybe he will be
lucky? Another area of concern was that this redrive uses only 5 of the 6
available mounting studs that the Valley redrive uses. Maybe the 6th stud
is over kill and unnecessary?
Now don't get me wrong the series III Valley isn't perfect but it is so
silky smooth. It is still a belt redrive. If they had tacked a gear redrive
with good harmonic dampening I would be cheering them on.
The engine had a nice exhaust system and what looks like a fuel injection
system.

Beautiful exhaust system until it reached the "T" at the bottom, where
it hits a square wall and then separates left and right.
If I had designed the exhaust system, I would have installed an mandrel
bent 90 degree single outlet.
I don't see any hangers/stabilizers on the exhaust system. Reckon it
will stay together with that long run of tubing?
