  1. I remember many many years ago racing against a Gust Front at Christchurch International Airport once in a C172 I arrived at one end of the 8000’ Runway As the Gust Front reached the Other ! Landed OK but it took about 8 Ground Handlers to Assist Me taxiing to the Safety Of a Hanger ...!

  6. I'm also interested in this Engine as well. It seems like a great alternative to the Rotax & Jabiru engines with its FADEC engine controls for both Power & Fuel economy. Its very popular in Europe but poorly promoted in USA although a new distributor there may make some inroads as a few light Aircraft builders are now installing & testing them...Pity they don't have an agency in Oz.! I'd love to put one in a RV-12 one day!
