Hi! Graham.
You make some valid points but the prop doesn't need to be in the
inefficient range if there is a CS prop or "wobbly" prop facility.
The warping heads problem has been addressed on new production but as ever
with air cooled it needs some exact continious observation, reliable
monitoring of all cylinders.
"Horses for courses" I believe is the phrase. I have quite a background of
experience but nevertheless wouldn't try extend it to any major Rotax strip
down needing the services of specialists. But I was quite happy doing the
Jabiru. (Back in the box Duncan I know what you are itching to say !)

Bob Harrison G-PTAG
