I talked with Mistral about two years ago and they said they had stopped
selling parts. They claimed that the new intakes would not work on a standard
20B.
I think it was more about not wanting to deal with ‘the little guy.’
I don’t really expect anything to ever come out of Mistral at this point.
Perhaps the company will go into bankruptcy and can then be picked up by a
serious developer (on the cheap.)
I think they have a quality product .... it’s just the time to market
issue.
Even Lycoming has an “Experimental” version of their
engine.
