Thanks, Dan. Well stated. I agree. I am NOT against auto engines in
airplanes (I think Jim Morgan may have thought that is what I was
saying). I feel like you do, it IS possible, but most of the articles I
have read sound like it took some dinking around to get everything
working acceptably, but it eventually was done.

No doubt, the devil is in the details for auto engine conversions. It can
be done, and has been done. If it was done more, it would become even more
reliable.

What we need is someone to get the bugs worked out, the put out plans on how
to do it, successfully. If it was done like that, it would be affordable;
to the type of person wanting to take these projects on, cost is everything.

There are some companies putting out reliable, complete auto engine
conversions, but the price is so high, they are over some people's engine
budgets.
