I heard that the Diamond engine is based on the same 2 litre Mercedes engine as the Thielert, which has a steel block, so Thielert made their own out of aluminium. Are you just putting two and two together, or do you know that Diamond stuck with the steel block? Either way, it's got to have at least one ECU, so what do you mean by no fadecs?
