Yet just this week they posted the requirements for the first orders. First
deliveries will be in late 2004. It appears they are now finally ready.
You may also look at the report of a 6+ hour over-redline stress test. They
finally broke it - the prop that is. The engine survived without a problem. I
hope they succeed since Thielert of Germany is all ready in production of a 150
HP certified diesel engine. They need to catch up.

Here's an interesting new diesel engine with much lower operating costs.
Looks like it would fill the bill for a Glass Goose (which I'm
considering)
very nicely. Waddya think? http://www.deltahawkengines.com/object00.htm

When we looked for a suitable engine two years ago we came across this too.
They had about the same availability table up, except it read '2002', not
'2004'.
