You IV builders have it easy, Lancair is now working with NASA to develop a diesel engine for the IV. http://www.lerc.nasa.gov/WWW/AST/GAP/ I wish they were doing this for the 360. In short the two cycle diesel is lighter for the HP, it can handle altitudes better, jet fuel is cheaper and mileage is better, and it is more reliable because it is a simpler design than a gas engine. For all of you who are interested, in my search I gathered up a lot of information on diesels and put it on my website in http://www.testelectronics.com/ftp/ download the file diesel.zip Regards, Ed
