Oscar,I looked at other engines, but only as a plan "B". The Tigre only needs two moreexhaust stacks, the oil pressure line finished, and a couple leads for the magnetosto appear finished. It is already mounted and safety wired in place, hasthe correct prop and spinner and so forth.Been oiling the cyclinders once in a while and keeping it from freezing up.I appreciate the work you have already done on the magneto manuals. My A&P techadvisor, told me to leave everything that is done as it is and move on, thenif I don't like something revisit it, otherwise it may never get done. Think hehad a point. Any other engine will cost a lot, need a different prop, motormounts, cowling and reworking all the W&B adjustments that have already been made.So I plan on going forward with the Tigre. I think it looks great from thefront and rear, just from the side it seems a bit long nosed. Will have to findsome way to insure it is reasonably safe to fly before I take it up, but thereis no immediate danger of it flying very soon.JimRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Jim's Aerial
