Just lost in the Lycoming lore of " all else is

ignore his thoughts.

I can't speak for BOb but it's my impression that
he's not against alternative engines in and of themselves,
but alternative engines with less-than-ideal engineering
and development behind their airplane applications, and
those who are lost in the lore of "auto engines are superior
because Lycomings are old."

So far statistics appear to be on his side.

Thank you, Dave.
You have explained my position fairly accurately.

FWIW....
One need not be a rocket scientist to
realize that enuff "****" will go wrong....
when everything is right. However, doods like Ben,
continue to stedfastly remain simplistic and ignorant.


But, Bob, Ben is the one who has done the research, designed and built a
working auto-conversion, while you continue to point out its difficulty
while offering no information on how or why it won't work. Do you have
anything to offer, other than that you have been holding a stick for 50
years? We've all heard that one once or twice.

Logically, remaining simplistic and ignorant would apply to the one in
the same intellectual position as where they started. Can you tell us
anything about engines other than that you like Lycomings and
Continentals, because you've been flying behind them for 50years (again,
anyone who cares has heard that one by now.)?
