AHH, finally a subject I can post about.  I have been lurking on the list for a
while now.  First off an introduction...My name is Louis and I am currently building
a corvair powered Zenith 601xl in St.Louis, MO, go ahead, check out my
web site.  I think the next one will be an RV-10. I am captain on the 30 seat
Jetstream (Junkstream) 41.  I am also a CFI w/ single, multi, and instrument
ratings.  Total time: about 3800 hrs.

OK, enough horn tooting.  I really like these innodyn (ATP) engines.  Incredible
we can have an efficient turbine engine for less than 30k.  As for the stability
of the company, I think the important thing to look at is where the parts
for the engine come from.  Is the turbine something that comes from another source,
or does Innodyn manufacture their own.  Things like the spark plugs seem
easy enough to get off the shelf.  Keep in mind that these engines don't have
that many moving parts...although the reduction box may make for a bigger moving
parts count.  I'd say if these boys can get their engine certified then we
may really have something.  Although I'm sure the current pricing would go right
out the door...remember what happened to the rotax 912 series.  

Well, that's enough rambling for now, have fun building your RV's.
