RE: Changes to the Turbine Waiver test...
I have to agree that few will enter the market at the Kolibri / Funjet stage. Having sold a few dozen Kolibri's, only one that I can think of was to a guy just entering turbines. These micro turbines are expensive and more of a novelty (although they seem to just run and run) and are usually "in addition to" a decent stable.
If it does nothing else than keep people from getting their waiver on a Habu or Funjet for that matter, then I'm happy with it. Those aircraft don't translate to flying any heavy metal, or even something as simple and nice flying as a Bandit or Flash.
Just my .02
