I was at an EAA chapter meeting last night and the lead engineer from
Deltahawk engines spoke to us.  I am a long was from needing an engine,
but was looking curiously at the TCM monoblock diesel.  I hadn't heard
of Deltahawk prior to the meeting.  I have been somewhat dubious of
new engines, but came away from the presentation with "let's see where
they are at in 2 years".  I may not go with them if they are an option,
but they sure did seem to have a lot of positives.  Of course, I didn't
get the con side last night.

They are currently working on v4 200hp engines with v8 300 and 400hp
engines following.

Their web site is www.deltahawkengines.com.
