This is Mean Green, the airplane that inspired me to build a Vans RV-4 with a twist. My plan is to build an airplane that is a different kind of green, a plane that runs only on Bio-Diesel. My goal is to bring a new awareness to the general aviation community about the use of diesel engines in light aircraft in a "Green" way.

I made it to Oskosh for the first time and what an amazing week! I was lucky enough to make it around the show and talk to different vendors and meet some amazing people. A lot of the things that really caught my attention were both the move to remove lead from avgas and electric flight. I will cover it more in the firewall forward section but I learned this week about DeltaHawk Diesel Engines. They make a 160hp motor that might work in my project and I will be discussing more options about it as time goes on.
