Dyke Delta JD2 update.

I decided to keep the dual electrical system because it didn't cost weight and I'm using two electric fuel pumps and a 30 micron filter because the electric pumps keep the fuel cooler and reduce the remote possibility of vapor lock when running 91 or 93 octane ethanol free car gas. The engine has been run a little over an hour with no issues other then a couple of minor oil leaks that were resolved. A lot of scratch had built parts are needed to make these unique or rare aircraft fly.

A smart move to switch to a Lycoming, I also like the folding ladder detail, look forward to additional progress.

Glad to see you are still moving forward. Hope it will be ready for OSH this year.

What is the price of thsi aircraft

[@dillonhopson4367]

@@circleinfinity Depends on how you want it. Analog instruments and a fixed pitch prop and a good overhauled engine one could probably build it for around 60k or woth a composite constant speed propeller and glass dynon panel you can get as nice as you want closer to 100k. You can have it how you want and plans are still available.
