2.5 Gal/hr @ 11,500 ft @ 2000 RPM / 135 Knots in a Velocity W/ 160 hp
engine thats about... what? 60% to 65% power..?

So ( and assuming truth in advertising, Which the People at DeltaHawk
Have proven to ME time and time again that they are honest and
forth-coming about their progress and Problems...)

we got 2.5 gal/hr @ 60% @ 11,500 ft ... HHHHHMMMMMMmmmmmm....

Lycoming looks like about 5.5 Gal/hr


But can you buy one, and is it reliable and reasonably easy to maintain.

If not, they are less than 20% of the way towards making a profiitable, and
therefore, sustainable product.

I saw plenty of tech companies that actually delayed delivery and execution
ad infinitum because they knew (or were scared) that when they actually put
the thing in play, they would actually make less money. IOW, the investors
are easier to squeeze until you actually start failing to make money hand
over fist.

I know, no one likes a pessimist.. sorry..
