And aren't we all fortunate that the Wrights had this same attitude.ww2planes said:Nothing was ever perfect right out of the box. Trial and error make things better. That is called research.
My reference was to WW2PLANES' attitude, not Innodyne'sgmcjetpilot said:PS, The Wright Bros, did not send out lots of press releases take deposits before flying.
ww2planes said:Turbines are not new and I doubt that Innodyn has created a brand new product with all new technology of the likes that the world has never seen. It looks to me that they are trying to satisfy a niche that they believe exists by scaling down from a large mega horsepower turbine so that folks like me can have one.
ww2planes said:My non-flying airport neighbors would sure appreciate the quiet. If proven safe, my wife would also appreciate the quiet while watching a movie. I like the alleged simplicity and the TBO times for turbines. The lack of parts, let alone moving parts, is also appealing.

I have a friend who is developing a horizontally opposed engine with ceramic technology that will operate at detonation. It will burn virtually anything (bio-fuel, diesel, acetylene etc.) and be super efficient. Is he interested in Aviation? No. He wants to build a generator (this is not his day job . Do I doubt he can do it? I better not, he helped develop the technology that cut silicon into wafers in the machine you are typing on. I razz him and tell him it won't work (running an engine at detonation), but I probably shouldn't.
More power to em'.
I think the cure to the money woes would be to form a corporation and sell stock in the company. This will separate the believers from the non-beleivers and reward the prudent.

Uh, huh, I'll watch while you do it ok?
brianwallis said:Uh... you are putting what on the front of a plastic airplane?
I'm impressed..... I think..... I think you have big kahunas....I'm not familiar with the breaking point of those airplanes but I think the tails are comming off of the Turboprop Lancs. Dont take this as ragging on you... I'm just concerned....
Still in research mode....

Of course I think that RV's are the best "value".

RV6 Flying
RV6A under construction (still)
Wish **I** had a Legacy with an IO-550
How did we get from Innodyn to this?osxuser said:Lets not start airplane bashing here. I think all of these
designs are much safer than the Wittman Tailwind I'm working on right now.
Glasair is a inheriently more stout design, but the Lancair is slicker. The RV is
cheaper than both of them, and the super-8 is a pretty decent setup, even
without the factory support.
