Most private airplanes use engines with archaic technology in them because of the conservatism in the aviation industry. You make that sound like a bad thing. Remember, a component failure in a car is no big deal: you just pull over to the side of the road and stop, like I did when the transmission in my Explorer died one memorable Sunday afternoon. The same failure in an airplane is a major emergency, and will get your name in the papers. I'm a lot happier flying beind an O-200 than I would be a Rotax. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (FRM) (Yes, that's me!)
