Mike,
because the manufacturers have the attitude that US consumers don't care about fuel efficiency. Is it the attitude of the manufacturers or that of the majority of the consumers? unless there are issues with the newness of the engine. There are issues - as with anything new. Nothing deal-breaking, though, AFAIK. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

"Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... C, I suppose the NTSB site would be worth investigating. IIRC, you'd find zero fatal accidents. Zero, zip, nada. Same for the DA20. Pretty impressive. Actually, there is one fatal for the DA 20. That was a DA20 Katana with the Rotax engine. I fly out of Leesburg, and based on informal discussions there and when I was taking ultralight lessons, it seems that the Rotax has a tendency to carb ice easily. That might be the unexplained reason. I fly a DA20 Eclipse (rent), it has a Continental and is very nice, albeit a little snug for 6' 3" pilot. -Malcolm Teas
