Good point you bring Gray H; who will maintain these things? I'm hearing that even a simple TT Strap change (required at 36 months/1,200 Hrs) will not be done by the local CSF, but will need to be done in Arizona (guess where
?).
And how about if you put a small hole in the belly, landing on a twig in the field; how is that fixed? How complicated does it get on a FADEC equipped machine? Ever hear of HIRF & Lightning requirements?
