So...all I have to do is sell my wife on the idea of buying a
Thielert 172 with a glass panel.

I priced out a diesel for a 172. It came to $75,000 installed. We
need a lot of people like you to buy now so eventually the price
will come down to a reasonable level.

As it is now there is no such thing as an overhaul on those Thielert
engines. Apparently run them to 'tbo' and throw them away...

Business Plan Alert....

Seems like there might be some engines available in the future that would be
great for experimental aircraft. To bad Thielert will probably MAKE you give
them your old engine in order to buy a new one.
