Hi Andrew,
I have had several tel. conversations w/ these folks after reviewing
their websites.
I'll be in Ohio next week and plan to stop by their shop and poke
around on Mon. or Tuesday. I'll share any info or sense of their ops I
get. The Rotomax fuel consumption is not territic, but they say they'll
be tweaking their controller to allow use of JetA.
I'd love to see that engine spooling up a direct drive ducted fan in an
aircraft designed around that notion...could be the "peoples' jet"!
I'm looking also at the Gemini 100/125 and the UL260i.
Cheers,
Fred
