2 Stroke Engine Trouble
AT Parowan last June, one supper conversation with three owners of
powered single seaters detailed two propeller problems (manufacturer took a season to sort out) and one battery failure (expensive) -- unusual, I suppose. But not engine problems, eh?

I have been flying with sustainer engines (Solo 2350) for more than 10 years in a Discus bT, Ventus2cT and DuoDiscusT and never had a problem with it. Most of the times engine problems are the cause of bad maintenance or incorrect use of the engine.

But not engine problems, eh? Were these all two stroke engines? And I'm very curious how a battery failure could be expensive, given the low cost of batteries. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA www.motorglider.org - Download "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation"

And is that the price of the battery, or is there a terrific amount of labor involved in changing it? -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA www.motorglider.org - Download "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation"
