Grob Engine

I think Limbach are still around with VW type 4 engine variants up to 125kw.
Does anyone know why the original engine can not be overhauled.
Have flown and driven with these units (they do what they say on the tin).

My letter to the CAS has been copied to the Defence Minister Sir Michael Fallon.

I felt the need to point out that the the Gliding Schools (VGS) have been providing safe flying training for over 70 years using volunteer staff and are being let down by an overcomplication of the system backing them up.

I did not use the word incompetence because i only wished to highlight the situation not cause offence,but i did suggest that 'Action this Day' was needed before the 'patient' died.

Let us hope some 'sense' gets into the system before it is too late. PP
