I recently bought an engine to use on my Piet. It is a Continental 0-200 GPU, is anyone else using one of these? I have all the typical questions. With added power and weight should motor mount and or landing gear be repositioned? Can I safely use one mag and the single plug (the cylinders are drilled and taped for only one plug now).or two mags and the single plug? What prop should I look for to run efficiently and what kind of performance should I expect? Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

[quote="oldaeroplaneworks(at)yaho"]Mike, I have an AutoCAD .dwg file for a C-90 engine. I'm not sure if the mounting lugsare the same as the smaller engines. I tried to send the file to the groupbut it bounced. Contact me off-line and I'll forward the file to you. Grover> Done! Thanks. Whether it matches or not, I would still like to have it available.Mike--------Piet-builder-who-hopes-to-be-flying-next-summerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Engine Choice for Aircamper

THANX Dave Cates / Walworth WI > Considering how much the Piet loves cruising above 80-85mph (not much), I'd saybased on the props used on other somewhat similar aircraft that you'd be lookingin the 72x46-48 to 74x42-44 range, and personally I'd lean to the climb endof those choices. But wait and see what the cats drags in on this one. It seemsthere may be a few around with O-200's so someone's done some testing somewherealong the line.--------Piet-builder-who-hopes-to-be-flying-next-summerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
