Very true. Yet, the more market options, the healthier the market.Its always amazing how much more, less weight costs...
Engine looks sexy and quite slim.
KFA and RV4ker, What are the power / weight ratios compared to alternatives ?

Congratulations KFA and I am sure we all wait with abated breath. I am particularly interested if they bring out a 120hp 6cylinder and I am sure George will as well if he pursues the Sonex idea. The alternative to the Jab 6 is a good thing...
Do you know if the mounts of the D-motor are a unique configuration or as in the UL-206, the same as the Jabs?

Re: New aviation engine on the horizon for SA
Hi John, the D-motor, Jabi and UL all have the same engine mounts. I suspect that the D-motor will fit in our Explorer Jabi cowl also

Re: New aviation engine on the horizon for SA
Now that makes it soooo much easier!
Would that now be a turn out for the books if a JAB430 flies around with a D-Motor 120hp
Hmmmm, a D-Motor 120 powered Cheetah

Re: New aviation engine on the horizon for SA
I think very possible. It should work better tan the Jabi as it turns at lower rpm so you can swing a bigger prop. 66 inches
