New "old" technology of the EPS engine is interesting, just had a look at their web site. It appears they are operating an aluminum propellor.
It had a lot of of interest at Oskosh.
I was talking to a bloke in Cairns that has a diesel in a 182?(I think), was ambivalent about the pros and cons.
Maybe worth considering when I replace the engine in the 206
I can see why the established LAMEs wouldn't be interested though or actively promote such technology, because it represents a lot of new learning and a bunch of lost maintenance business opportunity.
Hi Andy
Reading through the thread I noted your thoughts on maintenance of the engines. The maintenance people I know have a deep interest in new technology and gaining whatever qualifications required, so I feel they would view it as more income not less.
