It should be here, too.


There's no good argument for using them in the States. Gas isn't that much

more
expensive (if at all) than Jet-A, and gas is readily available in the

lower 48. When
that changes, you'll see more diesels here. Do a comparison of the diesel

and gas
Maules. The diesel costs more, is slower (due to cooling drag), and

carries less
weight (the engine weighs more). I also think it's pretty ugly, with that

Hawker
Typhoon style cowling, but that's a personal opinion.



The trouble is that the days of 100LL are numbered.
