[Vwdiesel] Diesel airplane article

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  I came across an article recently from the November AOPA about the 
Diamond, Twin Star diesel.  Cover page even!  Pretty interesting except 
they're using Mercedes engines and only have a European 1000 hr TBR.
No TBO at all.  :-(  A Mercedes engine sure should be good for much longer 
than that but I'm sure it weighs in a little heavy too.  Pricey too!  $25K 
each!
  Anyway, here's scans of all pages other than the other half of the plane 
from 
the first page.  Hmmm, just noticed there's an article about a "big v-6 from 
Rotax" in there also.
