Doug Doers from Delta Hawk Diesel engines told me he has a customer who is taking delivery of a V-4 cylinder 200 hp engine for a -10. He would not give me the customers name but took my name to give to the customer. If you are out there, please respond. I would like to know more about your build.
Thanks!

Dave,
FYI for you , I've a friend that is tied up with Delta Hawk and has been promised an engine for well over a year...new technology is difficult at best, before I'd consider going the DH route, I'd make sure they are delivering engines and that they are working well...JMHO...
I"m really hopeful that they make it...another engine choice would be terrific, but to date they have made lots of claims and very little performance. Start up companies that seems to be under capitalized can have difficulties pulling off the final phase of development actually delivering the product.
Imagine Van wanting your adddress so that they could pass it along to a builder to contact you...just seems odd to me.
It's my understanding talking to them over the years and again this year that they have not delivered a single engine to anyone builder but they have several in test beds at OEM's and one in a test bed at their facillity but having difficulty with a cooling tower test bed.
Talking to them they seem to be working very hard, but are a bit from the finish line on having a finished product...at last years OSH they said they would be delivering engines in the 3rd Qt of 05...its now 06 and they say they will be shipping by late 06. I found their talk this year more forth right than last year...will be delivering in 06 if something else negative does not develop.
Sort of reminds me of someone else that popped on asking us to become unsecured investors in their engine company by depositing at OSH for a small discount. Tough financial sell in the aircraft business.
For me I don't believe I would trust my life on a new engine until it has a few thousand hours flown behind the machine and I was sure the engine company was here for the long haul. We've seen a lot of small start up companies come and go.
As I said I hope they make it and come up with a great product but start up's in a newish technology are difficult. I don't know how a Velocity test bed product will equate to your Van's project, but I do wish them the best and hope they make it.
Patrick
