News, facts, and comments on the coming revolution for piston-engine aircraft.

News from the Beech Duke, Thielert conversion.
In late 2005, Martin Hagensieker from Germany installed early Thielert Centurion V8 310HP engines in a Beech 60 Duke, a plane with which Hagensieker is very familiar since his firm owns, operates and services a fleet of them. We hear that the project is now under way again with the help of the Gomolzig FBO ( www.gomolzig.de ), this time with the 350HP engine. Supposedly the delay was because Thielert had its plate full with other projects and was not able to provide adequate support for integrating the newer 350 hp variant. Gomolzig told the Duke Flyers Association in the USA in fall 2007: ‘Supply for the engines with the mono turbo Charger ist planned for the end of 2007, so that we hope to fly in springtime with the 350 hp engines.’
