 > wondering if Mistral ever consulted any marketing people 
I think you'll find that Mistral is targeting the certified market. No intelligent businessman would target us. :)
 
They have a better product with a 50% higher (proposed) TBO and (probably) lower maintenance costs. They don't need to undercut Lycoming, and probably shouldn't go that route. It'll take time, but if they prove and certify their product, and have the financing to stay the course, they could do well with the current pricing.
