And the numbers!!  It would be great to show the numbers as well:

Weight as shown, horse power, cost, included accessories etc...

It really makes me sad, because Mistral was so close.  I just think their
model was wrong.  They didn't cater enough to the experimental crowd in
order to get started.  Almost every successful aerospace company either
started with large government contracts or grew slowly by providing a
quality product to the little guy and gaining experience and reputation.
 These days the little guy mostly means the experimental and ultralight
crowd.

Mistral should have been selling experimental engines at cost.  That would
have given them gobs of FREE R&D and advertising.

Sure is a nice looking engine.
