Tim (and List),
I'm building a CH801 and am planning on using a DeltaHawk diesel. See
http://www.deltahawkengines.com/ for some details. My reasons: 1. fuel
availability 2. As I've examined this engine I've been favorably impressed
with the design for use in light aircraft. It's 2-stroke, piston-ported,
therefore no valves to deal with, EVER. The 2-stroke design somewhat
mitigates one of the problems of diesel aircraft engines, vibration. The
frequency is twice what a 4-stroke has, so while the amplitude might not be
less, the critical speed might be high enough to be inconsequential. 3.
And, of course, no sparkplugs!

Jim,
I was wondering if you've purchased / received the DeltaHawk engine. I live in
Racine, WI and have run into the owners of DeltaHawk on several occasions (nice
people, by the way). It seems they are always 6 months from production and
have been at that point for the past several years. I'd be very interested in
the diesel as well for the same reasons you pointed out. I'm just not sure
about availability.
On another note, since you're planning on diesel, have you made any modifications
to your fuel system?
Regards,
Ben Church

Mark,
I believe Larry Winger has a set of steel dies floating around you may want to
ask him he's kind
enough to share. He is at larrywinger@gmail.com.

Jim,
Not sure on the DeltaHawk but most 2 stroke diesels use ports on the intake
and valves on the exhaust. I do like diesel engines too. Is this engine
readily available?
