Smart Turbo Diesel or VW Lugo Diesel
"bbutlergps" wrote The Mercedes-Benz A Class 1.7 from Thielert Centurion even being light alloy weighs in at just under 300 lbs. Too much for the 701. Being that the smaller mercedes 3 cylinder diesel has been put in some planes including the 701, 601 FK-9 as well as ultra lights but I feel that they lack the HP needed. Keep in mind that the diesel engines in airplanes tend to give the same performance as a gas engine of up to 25% more HP. Would that make a difference in the HP figures, in your case? -- Jim in NC
