Millen Aviation Services of Kent, England, filed a lawsuit on Dec. 17, 2007, against Diamond Aircraft Industries in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, over their Thielert diesel-powered DA40s. "The claim for damages is based on our experience with our two DA40 1.7 TDIs, their extremely poor reliability, highmaintenance costs, waiting time for spare parts and, our firm belief of their premature release to market without sufficient research, development and testing," company partner Mike Millen said in a prepared statement. Diamond did not immediately respond to AVweb's request for comment....
Kind of interesting that Millen cites high maintenance and spare parts as a problem when Thielert and others in the diesel business talk about diesel engines as having less parts and more reliability...sure would be interesting to know the exact details...

Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.
