Talk:Wilksch WAM series

A four-cylinder WAM?
"Clarify whether still working on four-cylinder as no news on company's website for nearly a year" (comment by "BikerBiker"). I can't yet find a reference for this; but when I spoke to the factory, they indicated that their priority was to develop a larger capacity 3-cylinder motor. The 4-cylinder engine would (hopefully) follow. Arrivisto (talk) 13:25, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * If there is no reference then it should be removed from the article. It seems to me that Wilksch are teetering on the edge of financial viability so the 4 cylinder may be a pipe dream. --Biker Biker (talk) 13:37, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Like other small aviation companies, Wilksch struggle with the difficulties of a small market but high research costs and long lead times. However, now that Liberty intend to specify the 3-cylinder unit (once certified) for their popular XL2 aircraft, the future of the Gloucestershire company seems reasonably promising.  Assuming Wilksch survives, the 4-cylinder will be next on the menu, and will be ideal for, inter alia, the Van's family of kitplanes.  The 4-cylinder engine is expected to be a modular extension of the 3-cyl unit. Arrivisto (talk) 08:22, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal
It seems that this page might usefully be merged with Wilksch Airmotive; and perhaps more acknowledgement should be made of Mark Wilksch, the man behind the engines. Arrivisto (talk) 23:16, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
