Spunk it sums our industry up if flight instructors ( who normally have next to no experience ) asked him to put a carb in it !!
If you know what you are doing with FI then no problem. It is laughable that in 2014 we cant get a FI engine to start at a turn of a key !!! Now if your BMW or any car had the dramas that we put up with in aviation ...............
When will the regulatory bodies get their head out of the sand with certification rules. Currently Ford have a predicted failure rate of their engines of 10million to 1 bet Lycoming gets nowhere near that
G2 has a plasma start so presumably starting with FI would be no problem

HH diesel to heavy currently !! I assume too expensive to make out of aluminium ?
