Davis DA11

[Bill McCarthy]

I will never be able to afford to fly behind these high powered Lycomings, but I am heartened when I read that an aircraft such as the Davis DA11 featured as an aside to the Davis 2 seater article in the September edition of our mag can hurtle along at an incredible 135mph on an untuned and little modified Briggs & Stratton V-twin engine - returning a whopping 100mpg. The old Dart Kitten seen within the LAA marquee too, quite happily chugs along on modest power. I have not got the wherewithall to design such aircraft but in order to satisfy my level of membership, we ought to look at this subject more in depth.
