FYI
Monday, Thielert Aircraft Engines announced at the Berlin Air Show intent to
produce a new liquid-cooled turbocharged diesel-burning, FADEC-controlled
single-lever-power 230 bhp engine, the Centurion 3.2. The engine is targeted
for air-time in late 2007. Frank Thielert, CEO and founder of Thielert Aircraft
Engines GmbH, said his goal was to offer a complete piston engine product line
with, "New engines and engine integrations [that] will enable us in [the]
future to cover the entire spectrum of piston aircraft engine technology."
Those products -- the 150 bhp Centurion 1.7 (powering many Diamond DA42 Twin
Star aircraft and burning 5.6 gph in economy cruise), the coming 230 bhp
Centurion 3.2, and a 350 bhp Centurion 4.0 -- are supported by 111 service
centers currently spanning 97 countries. The addition of more service centers
is a company priority, as is Thielert's intent to make its 350 hp 4.0 available
for multiple Cessnas. The existing Centurion 4.0 350 bhp jet fuel powered
piston engine will be "integrated ... into further popular aircraft..." said
Thielert. Specifically, the company seeks to acquire STC's for service in
Cessna 206, 340, 414 and 421-series aircraft. See the full text of the
company's release here

I should build more slowly . . .
This will mean I won't have to build my own gearbox to run two Centurion
1.7 engines driving counter-rotating propellers . . . : )

Great News! The more options the better. Even more reason to slow down on
the building and fly more in between.

hi all,
If prices are similar as for the 1.7 I would say keep building, stick a
Lycosaur on the front and sell it as quick as possible to finance your new
thielert engine!
You then have only two problems remaining :
Find the finances for another RV10 kit and 2 building the thing with a big
ugly squared off front area in the cowling.......
I recall reading somewhere that current conversion cost are somewhere around
60,000 euro's for the full 1.7 kit for either C172 or PA 28. You'll have to
fly an awful lot to get the initial price back through saving in fuel.
An article in one of the magazines here recently quoted a headline flying
from the UK to France for around £7 or £8 or something .

That translates it fine, but doesn't answer the question . . .
