I was just looking at the MK-Helicopter project. To me it looks as if they are using Jet A on their "diesel" engine. Why would you want to do this, use Jet A instead of the much cheaper "diesel".

When I first looked at it I was telling myself: great idea, good looking helicopter, finally something new, something more sophisticated then a Robbie or a Hughes.

But then again I figured out that it is just a project, following MK I and MK II (also good looking machines). And when looking at the main rotor mast...



... well so far only that tiny little mast of a Robinson scared me.
