I have just heard from a pilot based outside Europe.
The
Lyco SB has been interpreted by his national CAA literally and the crankshaft has to come out 21 Feb 2009 !!!
Whereas the FAA, and
AFAIK EASA, have adopted a 12 year crank life limit from entering service, which makes the deadline around 2009-2014.
This also means you have 1 month to take advantage of the Lyco $2000 reduced-price crank kit offer - applicable to people who are using an independent engine rebuilder.
Crank lead time is c. 10 weeks (just checked) but it will depend on the model.
