Hans,
I looked at the motor you are talking about on the internet. It appears
that the diesel motor is running 40 hp vs your 80.
all the best.
The gas fired versions are doing 80 tho and have dual ignition built
into em.
Looks promising.

Hi group,

can someone please tell me whether efforts are on the way already to
turn the Smart CDI diesel engine into an aircraft engine? I'm looking
for something (preferably a diesel) in the 80HP range. Maximum weight
should be appr. 75 Kg (165 lb). It looks to me the larger of the
Smart CDI's might fit the bill.

thanks!
