Wait to you see the price! I don't think you will want it.

Seems to me there are already some Thielert/ Cessnas in Europe and they just had another apparent clutch failure and forced landing last week on a road in Finland I think (no injuries). Service life on many Thielerts has been well short of TBR to date. A few bugs to work out still.

Yes indeed... no injuries, engine was losing power but was running until landing was done on highway. If I just remember, I may sent link to accident report when finished (it may take up to year that complete report will be done)... And reports has summary in English and Swedish while complete report in only in Finnish.

True statement.

I notice Deltahawk put their prices back up again, they were gone for several months.
