Bonjour Rowland,
I use a SR2000 on my aircraft since 9 month the result is good.
But the problem in France is French civil aviation administration (DGAC) they
recognize
only the kit manufacturer not the PFA.
To day this propeller is not recognize by Europa because they sales Airmaster
propeller,
and the company do not give a letter to the French administration to
use the woodcomp propeller, and to day we are grounded with this propeller.
In France many ultralight aircraft use this propeller with 912. Sames engine
same
propeller.
But with Europa aircraft is no authorised for the reason explained on top.
What solution do we have?
I think this attitude is a high brakes and contrary the sales of many kits
aircraft.
Now mainly of the customers buy ultralight aircraft. The sales exploded in
France
mainly for the non open attitude of kit manufacturers in accordance with
aviation
administration.
Personnally I am satisfied of my aircraft, but my next aircraft is not Europa
for
this attitude.
bientt,
Michel AUVRAY
