Date edit

The 2010 date is in conflict with the 1 December 2004 first registration date recorded in Jaques Chillon's Fox-Papa book and with Air Britain's European registers book, which features the Verhees on the back cover.

Follow up: Jane's (http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-All-the-Worlds-Aircraft/D-Plane--Verhees-Engineering-Belgium.html) gives October 2004 as first flight date.TSRL (talk) 08:35, 26 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for finding something definitive! The ref cited is pretty vague on the first flight date, indicating it was seen just before publication, but perhaps other people saw it as "introduced" earlier. - Ahunt (talk) 10:13, 26 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Subaru EA71 engine edit

In the General Characteristics paragraph the EA71 engine is said to be air cooled. While in the Wikipedia page of the EA series engines Subaru EA engine#EA-71 the all EA engines are said to be liquid cooled. I don't know which one is correct, or perhaps the engine is converted to air cooled but I am not sure that would be possible.
