Matt,

It's liquid cooled, so no discussion about shock cooling anymore.

So we prevent a problem that isn't really a problem.


No. Read carefully. We prevent DISCUSSION about a problem that isn't a
problem ;-)


It's geared, so a prop strike doesn't affect the engine.

The engine still stops suddenly unless the gearbox fails or is
designed
to fail before any significant acceleration is transferred to the
engine.

There is no direct mechanical connection between the engine and the
prop, as I understand it. Same goes for the Rotax 912/914 series.
