We're getting off topic here, 'scuse me but no way you get 10G/hr out of a IO-240. I''l negotiate and settle on 5G/hr on average use on the IO-200.
We average 4.9G/hr over a year and that is all training.
Anyway, my personal opinion is that a lot of people would have taken this airplane more serious if it would have had serious engines iso ultralight engines, micro light, light sport, whatever you want to call it.
Even Cessna went for an O-200 in the Skyscratcher. Rotax has a place in aviation I'll give them that but not in these sorts of airplanes.
And here is just one example of an electric prop:
