Default DA 42 accident

Blueskies,

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


No. it has a TBR (r for replacement) of 2400 hours, guaranteed by
Thielert. When you buy the engine, that price buys you 2400 hours. Can
you say that of any Lycosaurus or TCM?

yes, they currently do replace the engines sooner than that - but you
don't pay for it. They're working up to final TBR.
