CRAN,

if you are in contact with MK, tell them to talk to the Mistral-people in Geneva! ...maybe they already did.

Just to repeat it, the Mistral-JetA is not a real Diesel (their CEO hates the word Diesel by now!), but a spark ignited, direct-injection, JetA burning, turbocharged Rotary.
Their W/P ratio is at or better what you find in any Lycosaurus.

MK will get no where with the SMA - too heavy, and as you said " no spare MP" ", I also hope (for them...) they have some luggage-space - at least what Robinson has, or forget it!

Beautiful machine though!
