Someone on Sonextalk brought up this engine:
http://www.eaa.org/experimenter/article ... _boxer.asp

Could potentially become a great alternative, 115hp for just over $9000.
Engine weight including starter, generator, exhaust system, oil heat exchanger, and reduction gear unit is 176lbs
(at least we get clear numbers from this factory on the actual weight of the engine, unlike other new alternative engine producers 8-).

Cool. What this country needs is a good 5 cent cigar, or a good $9,000 motor... ;)
