"........UK kit aircraft diesel engine manufacturer Wilksch Airmotive has received Popular Flying Association approval for its 90kW WAM-120 engine and has secured a tranche of investment to fund production and assembly of the two-stroke engine.  The company has so far clinched over 40 orders for the £10,000 ($14,500) WAM-120, more than half from owners of the Europa kitplane.   Wilksch is also developing a £15,000 four-cylinder 120kW diesel engine, the WAM-160."
