Al,

 

 I understand and agree with what you are saying regarding the experimental nature of these one off installations. But if you dont compare them to the norm, what do you compare them to? I guarantee you that is what the LyCont flyers are comparing them to

Mike;

 

Sorry I wasn’t clear – I meant it wasn’t a fair comparison during the first couple hundred hours, while we are still in the debugging phase. After tha, go ahead and compare.  If we can get to some comparable reliability level in that short a time, compared to their 100’s of thousands of hours, we’re really on to something.

 

I’m actually not an avid proponent of alternative engines.  I just happened to have chosen that route, and it’s been a rewarding challenge; and working well.
