I've been following their "progress" for about 3 years now.
Despite their claims, there is still much doubt if they'll ever get to
market. They have shown no interest in FWF issues other than making repeated
claims that someone else is working on it. Uh uh.
I was one of those "this close" to sending them money but had second
thoughts after calling in person. I'm glad I didn't, and have chosen a
Lycoming IO-360 for my RV.
Even IF you could pick one up today, you would still be out on a limb
and all by yourself for installing it. There are no motor mounts available,
no cowl made for it, and no tech help offered by DH for all the connection
issues. Plus, there is only one flying which is a LONG way away from
establishing any kind of reliability. If the engine ever does come to
market, the first 100 buyers at least are going to be paying lot's of
dollars (more than a Lycoming would cost ) for the priviledge of being a
test pilot.
Those that are dreaming of building, dream about a Deltahawk. Those that
are actually building, and who want to actually FLY, are still going with
Lycoming.

forth-coming about their progress and Problems...)
