Just to make this Crystal clear for us all... The actual failure assessment report in RCJI is PHILL's report, NOT Tom Wilkinson or anyone from RCJI.
I believe so if you read very carefully. What Phil should do is learn from this withdraw the wasp sort it out then re-release in a big way ie get good demo pilots at the jet meets etc this will then prove the engine is now good and I'm sure people would then start to buy - maybe. If he doesn't have the funds to do so then unfortunately the engine will be unlikely to shrug its bag reputation and we would loose a POTENTIALLY good engine.
All the best
