Paul;

    I have tried and tried to get a hold of Midwest in an effort to

get more information

 on the 2 rotor engine and was not successful. You say Diamond now has

that engine.

Is there a web site email address or a phone number available where I

can contact them?

Thanks,
Mark

 This is what google.com came up with.

        Sorry but none of those sites produced anything. I saw nothing

from Diamond that

would indicate that they were selling anything, other than over priced

aircraft.

To their credit it looks like they have some nice aircraft, but the

price tag says that

they are proud of 'em. I have tried and tried (to no avail) to get them

to respond to an

 email. I could only imagine the capabilities of the Hawk engine if it

were turbocharged.

It appears that it came with a geared PSRU. If you ever find out where a

person can

get a hold of one of these things, please let me know.

Thanks,

It is a new thing with Diamond. They just bought Midwest. Have you tried

calling them?

There was a Swiss aircraft at OSH with one of the Midwest engines in it.
It is true. They are unlikely to be cheap.

 Mark,

    Diamond does have nice products, they seem pricey in the two place
market because you end up comparing them to a 30 year old aiplane of a 50
year old design. The four place out performs the 182 and costs less than the
new Cessna. I haven't flown the twin so I can't comment on that one. If you
get an opportunity to fly one I would highly recommend you have a go, I
think you would be impressed. Of course they can't compete with homebuilt
designs.
