Delta Hawk, recent Kitplane article
 

Which Kitplane issue, the latest one?

GO Inverted!
 

The engine not the aircraft! Bud, the best configuration ffor a DeltaHawk engine for an RV will be the inverted version. The crankshaft centerline is then correct and I believe all the plumbing will be easier. Remember the diesel doesn't need a reduction gearbox, which is good. V engines need an airframe designed to fit them if mounted upright. Delthawks engine is a 2-cycle diesel and should run just fine inverted, and they do have one in testing now.

I believe that's how they have it mounted in a 172. I don't know if it's flying yet, or that I'm even remembering the right airplane/engine combo, but it seems as though I saw a picture of it mounted inverted in some high wing spam can. :confused:

Diesel Video in Long EZ
 

This is a clip from Bill Allen in Europe who has installed a diesel in his second Long EZ:

I just noticed there's no mention of it on the DeltaHawk website. Is there something negative in the article?

There's a picture of the deltahawk inverted engine in a 172 here.

Thanks for pointing it out. Apparently there's no reprint on the DH site and I'm not interested in paying $7.50 for it from KitPlanes.
