Diesel engine
Check out all the operators who went to Diesel in the GA fleet and had a happy experience.
I still remember the adverts for the ARV2 with the ordinary two stroke.
Picture of ARV2 and a big tick with a c150 and a big cross.
Strange; still a lot of 150's around !!
The Weslake will be expensive/complicated and probably designed for the drone market.
Leaving aside the slmg v glider issue the fleets were adequate and did the job. They were let down by an organisation (RAF) that has stripped itself of trained staff to be replaced by contractors. The contractors seem to have kept the fleet going ok; its the RAF at fault not running a system to cope with the regulations.Someone needs to point them towards the LAA to help them find a level of operation for SIMPLE TYPES.
