allch, do you have a link to support your claims? Also you seem to be missing my point that the fuel efficiency is greater under certain conditions with direct drive, and it can be optimized for cruise.

If you are trying to imply that a 7hp series generator can replace a 25hp engine, you have some explaining to do.
