Lady H.
Can you give us a quick review of the market/development situation?
I was aware of only 3 companies in the business. If AVGAS will not be available as of 2004/2005 many people will find themselves with obsolete power plants.
My engine is just over 2500h (500 over TBO) and according to the latest checks can run another 500h to 3000h if all is fine, that means another 5 years.
I don't like to pay £17k for an engine and use it as paperweight after 6 months (the desk might break), a point that many should think about.
Thanks
