Says it only applies if you have Solo 2350 c and a non foldable propeller. But in the "reason" section, it implies that all Solo 2350 C engine operation is prohibited. Don't know enough on the specific variants of the Solo 2350 to know how many this really impacts. Also interesting is that you must inspect within 30 days and report your findings. Even if there is no issue to report, it does not remove the restriction from using the engine. Bad news for all that are affected. |

It will only be a matter of time before the U.S. FAA issues an AD based on the AESA AD that will impact gliders in the US.
US owners should heed the cautions and not operate the SOLO engine. Interesting that the AD specifically identified the previous SOLO service bulletin as not acceptable. BillT |

Yikes. http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2015-0052-E The product information website for Solo engines shows that two models of gliders are affected: Ventus CM and the DG1000T. Other gliders with solo motors have differing model numbers. |

Looking at the Solo website http://aircraft.solo-online.com/index.php it looks like the c model is very different in that it shows a belt drive while the straight 2350 shows a direct drive. It appears that the AD is only for the C model.

It affects ONLY 2350C engines with non-foldable propellor. That's DG1000T in the first place (which caused the AD) and probably J'S. S-H is not concerned (and I'll use it on my Ventus cM).

I think it says more about the technical competence of the
engine designers; maybe God doesn't like them either? At 02:42 03 April 2015, wrote: God doesn't like motors on sailplanes....... |

Also the turbo Antares - or at least the prototype according to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mxwvd-ps2A |
