you are probably right.
BUT, I got that experience over a rather scarcly inhabited rainforest area.
I am a" burned child":)) I will go for that mechanical device.
For me it is a little like the EWP, I want to see it work. I want to see it
work a LOT! :))
I will go with the " proof me wrong" - concept. In this case it just has to
be built and used often and long enough and I'll believe it.
At the rate at which I get closer to my airplane building dreams, it won't
be no problem - by then there is no more fossil fuel engines except in
museums  :((
