REFLECTOR: Deltahawk

[Laurence Coen via Reflector]

I had a position to buy a Deltahawk before it was called Deltahawk, in June of 1995.  I think it was called Universal Tech at the time.  The quoted price was $12500 with a $3000 deposit when they started production in September.  I bought a Franklin instead.

More like 20 years. The gentleman I bought my velocity project from was told when he got the kit in '96 that the engines would be available by the time he finished the airframe. 


I personally spoke to them on the phone last November and they assured me that they were basically ready for production and would be filling orders by the first quarter of this year. 


I don't understand how a company can be run so irresponsibly and still be getting people to pour money into it.

  Looks to me like that just got some more money. 


    On May 26, 2015, DeltaHawk Engines, Inc. secured commercial funding from an investor group lead by the Ruud Family of Racine, WI. Find out more about this exciting new chapter in DeltaHawk’s history soon.



  Although I suppose that could be another way of saying that they got purchased.


  As much as I would like to see something come of this, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Seems like they've been "2 years away" from having an engine available for purchase for quite some time (at least 10 years that I can recall).

    Looks like Deltahawk was acquired.
