Right now, DH has one big thing in it's favor: exchange rates. Those English
and German diesels (Wilksch, TAE Centurion) are expensive and don't offer all the same life-cycle cost advantages. They just need to get the engines out the friggin door....and preferably get FAA cert, too. I really want that inverted 180HP job for my still-notional RV-8A. I know too many guys with Harman Rockets that I want to thumb my nose at. Pete "Rob Turk" wrote in message . nl... Well that's good news then. I was very close to getting a diesel for our experimental, but the only available engine at the time was too heavy for our airframe. I still think diesel engines will take off, but there's several companies out there who have promised products forever without any appearant progress. Can you say 'Zoche'? Rob
