Cost of gas is beginning to hurt
Larry Stimely wrote: I think the future of general aviation belongs to diesel. I've been doing a little research on the Thielert 172/182 and the economics of it are compelling. You're talking about the difference between ~17.5 gph and ~11.5 gph on a 182...and the diesel has seventy percent fewer moving parts in it. I suppose you could get 17.5 gph thru a 182 but the tail pipe would be dripping wet. Top of the green, 23" and 2450, figure 12-12.5 gph. I don't run 17.5 thru my Bonanza with the 520, figure 14.5 at 75%.
