Converting an 0200 to a C90 isn't a bit deal. They are pretty much the sameengine. Changes cams, redo the carb and you're pretty much there.The C90 produces it's torque at lower speeds, thus allowing it to spin alarger diameter prop, though slower. I personally feel swinging a largeprop helps a lot with these old draggy airframes. The 0200 is great, butwas designed for a more slippery modern airframe and spins a smaller propsignificantly faster. They are both fine engines in a Piet and I've spokenwith people who have both and are very happy, but since I was having minegone through anyways, I opted for the C90. Should also be a tiny bit less thirsty.Douwe ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2011 07:12:33 -0800 (PST)
