It's almost unbelievable, that in 2017 we are talking about installing 1940's technology (Lycoming aircooled opposed reciprocating donk) in a new design.

What other industry, full of technology would use a two valve pushrod engine?

Surely with modern design/manufacturing/ECU technology we could have turbine engines in any new designs.
