So its not all that it seems I am afraid..........No need to be 'afraid' Jaba, although I can understand why
Like I said at least you have seen the light buddy
I think that aero engines of any discription would be a little more 'wanting' in the way of reliability & engineering than say some outboard motor!
After talking to the 'fiddler' I don't believe he wanted to 'fiddle' with it in the first place he'd rather fly it & by the sounds of things flying is the last thing he's able to do with the bonnet up so much!
In fact it's a standing joke around the clubhouse when his hangar door is open they assume he has it again in bits & not by choice either!
A quick Google search on jaba engine problems & they pop in their millions, hmmmm
Still I agree Lyc's & Conty's have their problems as well.
