horror stories of people laying down their hard earned cash for an
engine that is "soon to be released", and getting
nothing.
But
ATP, the diesels and all the other failed engines were attempts to
develop a new engine. Mistral are using the tried & tested 13B as a base, so
"all" they had to develop were the peripherals. Seems a much safer bet to
me. Looks like they've done a nice job of it too. Financial strength for
the long haul will make or break them. Ten years from now they
could be the engine of choice for single engine GA and
used Lyc's might be everywhere for $3000.
I don't think the strength of the dollar has
much to do with the price. Mistral are probably bright enough to know that you
have to price for the country you're selling in. I think they set the
price about right.
