REFLECTOR: Deltahawk engine

[J.P. Brooks]

The real difference is the fuel governor on the 160 VS. the 180....   and 
inter-cooling on the 180 VS. 200.
We've been told by (BEEEEEP!) (a little censorship here).... that our 
numbers merit much higher.  We knew that but through hours of running it 
we'll know TBO much better.
We believe it is bell above the 2000 hour target.
Also, If you go to the web site there is empirical data that proves our 
efficiency.  Soon as Doug can get her out on a normal day we'll have the 
11,500 ft. data posted ASAP.

All,....   come to Racine when you can and see for yourself.
Regards to all and safe flying.
