    Optimum Plans Pricing

    Exactly.... I've started my Dakota Hawk build from scratch... plans are OK... but enough problems with them that you need to use your own experience, the internet, and any resource you can find to get through.

    Why battery-powered aircraft will never have significant range

    You have a little bit of a problem with math... 1970 to 2020 would be 50 years... and if you think we are using the same technology as 1970????? 1970 didn't have home computers, fuel injection, variable valve timing.... cell phones, computers, fuel cells, electric engines, battery technology...

    Marine Engines (Honda)

    ????? you obviously aren't a homebuilder. Who would buy a brand new outboard to only use the engine??? You can get a used one and use the engine out of it..... this is where the homebuilding comes in.... develop that engine for your homebuilt. OR if you don't want the development involved with a...

    Has anyone done/heard/seen a marine engine conversion. Marine engines seem to have higher output and lower RPM??
