: tent, hoping to chat with the Thielert technical expert. Each time I was
: told that he (the only expert there) was at the other tent. I was hoping to
: get the details of what problems they were experiencing with the 1.7 block;
: to make them retool to the 2.0 block with no performance increase. Left to
: my own imagination, I would not want to be flying behind the 1.7 at this
: point forward.

Doesn't the 1.7 have a throw away TBO-like limitation that is very low?
