I'm also into fuel efficiency, and would like to suggest that you folks calculating NM/gal plug travel destinations into maps.google and then compare the efficiency of your airplane travel with that of driving a stupid utility vehicle going the same distance.  If you haven't already.  The curvier the roads, the better to fly.



If Deltahawk ever gets their stuff together I'll finish this 7A and start doing some "extreme" efficiency/mileage experiments .  Anyone else waiting on this pixie-dust engine?

All the "pie in the sky" stuff is for my next airplane.  You've got

your Mooney to fly, but many of us are renting while we build.  I'm

in serious "get'er done" mode.

Mike,

  

 Are you saying that you  have your airplane completely finished, except for a not yet available  engine that you are waiting for? This could take forever, like the ZOCHE  Aerodiesel, which I first heard about back in good old   Nineteen-Eighty-Eight! So why not  hang a low-/mid time Lycoming on it for the time being, and by the time it  may be worn out and in need of an overhaul, then you can swap it out in  favor of this pixie duster propulsion system. But at least you keep the regular dust of the airframe  until then...

  

 (Or use the Thielert product if  you NEED to have a diesel!)
