I think that engine companies fade away on a regular basis and there is no way I'd drop 20-30K on something unless it is well supported. Just asking the question. When some of the original people leave a company like this, misfortune is often close behind. I hope, not in this case.
I was merely hoping that Thielert would see the light in talking to Vans about a collaboration that would benefit users and themselves.
The 1.7 engines have demonstrated fuel flow vs. TAS close to 40% better than Lycomings at 10-12K and straight SFCs around 25% better.
