I don=92t know the M332CE. Is it the high-compression version of the engine? Also the Aero145 uses the V420 propeller. Not sure of the exact spec (I=92m not close to my tech data right now), but the prop also needs to be able to feather (the Ae145 being a twin). This is not a major issue. It=92s all in the control mechanism. Anyway, your engine and prop would not work for the Ae145, but your response is helpful in showing that there are LOM users out there! What are you planning to put the engine into? I guess the point I=92d like to make to the people in the USA who are (were) interested in our aircraft is that there is a small community of LOM users there who could be helpful. Incidentally, just yesterday I delivered to the dispatch agent, two LOM332SC engines to go to LOM Praha for rebuild. Both have been standing idle for over 20 years, and getting them approved for installation in a factory-built aircraft in Australia can really only happen with a LOM factory overhaul. I need one to get a Meta Sokol I=92m restoring back into the air. The second is a spare which I=92ll probably sell in Europe. Anyway, thanks for the contact.
