Alright CFIs-
Anyone else instructing in the DA-42?
If so, are your Thielerts getting close to TBR?
What is your management planning to do when that happens?
We are supposedly looking at putting Lycomings on. The 33% horsepower increase at sea level is pretty sweet. However, from working on those planes and seeing the innards it looks like a major project to a) put 6 (count 'em, 6) levers in the center console of that machine and b) run cables all the way out to the engines. There's not much room underneath the seats. That conversion could take a while.
I'm interested to hear if anyone else is in this situation and what they're doing about it.
