      @@grafhilgenhurst9717 I don't know much about planes but would additional power make up for a little more weight? I cant find the weight of the om604 4 cylinder, I know the om606 6 cylinder weighs around 490 lbs. 4 cylinder is like 90hp stock while the om606 is making 190hp and can take 600hp+ on stock internals with a few small mods and a bigger turbo + injection pump. I know the 4 cylinders have also been modified I don't know how much they can make off the top of my head though. I'm assuming theres gotta be some rules to engine modifications though. Im surprised diesel planes didnt catch on, they can be extremely reliable and not needing to adjust fuel sounds, easier to turbo charge.

    Just a little addition to fill in the gaps. In the 1950s was the Oscar Egg, Osgear with a spring loaded chain roller running on the bottom chain line taking up the slack over 3 sprockets. In the 1960s we were blessed in the U K with the Benelux horizontal spring action using down tube control lever and manual lever on seat post to change 2 front gears, turn it left/ right to select. Ray Booty in 1950s set national 100 mile record 3 hrs 32 mins using heavy Sturmy Archer 3 speed close ratio gear ! Then in the 60s came the 3/32 inch width lighter flexible chain we use today. Thus ending the racing on fixed gear for time trials as was then established practice in the U K . It became possible to to race 6 speed and more, breaking away from the limiting 5 speed of the 1/8 inch standard chain width previously only available. Chain pitch is still universally and W- Wide 1/2 imperial inch. The rest is history, you all are experiencing now. Thank you for a fascinating video particularly the back pedalling gear change of the French design ! Who else ?
