All:
I just returned from OSH.
I have been looking at the 180 hp DeltaHawk Diesel over the past several
years.
See: http://www.deltahawkengines.com
Despite the difficulty of a brand new engine, I feel the benefits of this
diesel are too numerous to overlook. It will pay for itself by the time a
Lycoming is due for an overhaul. This forecast was made with last years fuel
prices.
I spoke with both DeltaHawk and Curt LoPresti of LoPresti Speed Merchants
<http://www.speedmods.com> about LoPresti designing both an engine mount and
cowl for the RV-8. If I can get a sufficient number of builders interested
in the DeltaHawk engine, LoPresti has agreed to design an engine mount and
Cowl.
One of LoPrestis concerns about getting into the homebuilt market is that
it is very easy to rip off a design for a cowl or fairing. A production
engine would need an STCd design. Selling only firewall forward kits might
help solve this problem. Any other ideas?
MT has a propeller on the DeltaHawk Velocity. Aero Composites
<http://www.aerocomposites.com> will be supplying a test propeller shortly.
I am hoping to get some support from Vans in identifying builders who might
be interested in taking the plunge, but as you may know, Van has not been
too supportive of alternative engines.
I have also spoken with DeltaHawk about starting a Yahoo Group for their
engines.
Should there be sufficient interest to proceed with this program I will
visit DeltaHawk for a first hand view of their engine and its progress. The
180 hp engine will be perfect for the RV-8/A. A properly designed cowl
should yield additional speed or economies. I dont think that there is a
better design company than LoPresti.
As a back up, I also spoke with Sam James. He said that they were very busy,
but he would talk with me. His location is not too far from me, nor is
LoPresti for that matter.
Id also appreciate any ideas in getting this word out to RV builders. I may
be that RV 7 and 9 builders could also benefit from this program.

I'm at LEAST 18 months from thinking about ordering an
engine, but have also been watching the Deltahawk
develop (and the Powersport rotary, and the Mistral,
and the Innodyne, and the ...) I'd be interested in
seeing what he can do.
Count me in
