        In Newsletter 14 (July 96) the plans for the BMW engine are-

1.  initial runs late august
2.  after 50 sucessful hours of ground running, a total stripdown of engine and

    gearbox
3.  then, a 50 hour flight test prog.

        After seeing the engine at Cranfield, on the front cockpit 
section which will be used for ground running, i am very interested to 
see what the results are. The engine is fuel injected, so no carb 
icing problems, has electronic ignition, and looked a very neat 
installation. Spares should be cheaper than Rotax too.
