Until now, Thielert has sold their engines only in Europe.

have been for some months now.


In Minnesota...

At Anoka County-Blaine Airport (ANE) there is a DA-42, with Thielert
engines. It is owned by a regular poster to rec.aviation, he is also a
member of our local EAA Chapter. He's wants to give Young Eagle rides in his
DA-42. He used to give Young Eagle rides in his Cessna 310. g

I hope I get these numbers right.

He said @ 85% power (turbo) he's seeing total fuel burn:

12 gallons/hour ......175kts?
8 gallons /hour .......140kts?

Crap, now I'm guessing. PINGING Cary M !!!
