RE: New ZDZ 80 RV-J
ZDZ did not have to develop new 80s and 100s because they were so weak. ZDZ had to react to numerous engine faults in the german aerobatic F3A-X szene (similar to the US IMAC). There were cracks in the cylinder head bases and some Nikasil platings were rubbed of by the pistons. One 100NG started as a twin cylinder engine an landed as a 50NG single. The other cylinder was lying inside the cowl. The german ZDZ respresentative Amelung, know for his outstanding service, had a lot to do.
So ZDZ had to react quickly to preserve its good reputation which was build up during the las few years. Hopefully the new engine will work. And I hope MY 100NG will not collapse.

Every mfgr has had some failures - 3W also had case failures-I have seen these personally -these problems were isolated and were warranteed immediately
The new engine design, is a performance upgrade .
