The Delta Hawk has been VERY slow to come to the market, yet I have a

Anyone know the details, or of any flying apart from factory test/demo
planes?
TIA,


If you want an engine that runs on diesel, you HAVE to take a look at this
video:

It's a turbine engine mounted on a CH-701. Kinda neat!


I suppose if ~90 HP isn't enough, you could always consider a twin design.

It said that 90 HP was turning a 68" prop!


Youtube text description says 12gph fuel use!!!
