This is all well within MT's capability and understanding. I have worked with them on several propeller certification projects, which resulted in my issuing STC approval for their installation.
If your preferred language is English, there will be no problem. The technical staff I worked with there speak better English than most people in North America - they have not learned to be sloppy speakers yet. But, remember, don't present yourself at MT with a limited budget, they already have lots of work to do, so they aren't looking for budget minded projects...
Great to know, and yes, English is no problem. Would 10 thousand Euros be considered too small for them?
