G'day All,
I am scratch building a CH 701 and have most of the airframe done (major
components are not yet attached), then theres the controls, avionics and
engine to keep me busy.
A diesel engine really interests me as I have been driving behind them for
years, right back to the mid 70's in a Peugeot 504 - they were heavy then
but oh so reliable and fuel efficient.
I have read on the Zenith site that someone has installed a turbo diesel
from a Mercedes (Smart car), does anyone have any info or knowledge of
diesel engines conversions - would love to hear about it ??
Maybe a contact ??

If I recall correctly from an earlier post, I would contact Jim McBurney at jmcburney(at)pobox.com
He's building a CH801 with a Deltahawk diesel powerplant.

You might be interested in the Gemini 100 by Powerplant Developements in England. I saw the engine at the Light Sport Expo in Florida and really like the looks and idea of it.
Its 100bhp at 2500rpm and has a specific fuel consumption of 0.37 at 75%. The total installed wet weight is 190.5 lbs. That's competitive with the Jabiru 3300 or Rotax 912.
You can request info at info(at)ppdgemini.com.
