Re: Lust for POWER!

If you want to know about installing an O-200 on a short mount, PM me and I will give you ALL the details. There is NO STC yet for that installation. Tim

Thanks Mark

My plane N23638, remains in November registration. I have a accommodating roving FAA-IA who is practical. The most difficult regulatory issue is the Avionics, for which I must visit the certified FAA Repair Station in Geneva.

My question remains more mechanical. I infer from your answer that the F19 motor mount bolts up to the o-200. Are then there two different long mounts.

Just how many motor mounts are there?

. a-40
. early lycoming
. early franklin
. a-65
. c-85 short ???
. c-85 long ???
. o-200 long ???

The correct motor mount is certainly called out on the required STC. Is there a short o-200?

Thanks

John,
Many people have put the O-200 on the BC12 and I suppose also the BC65 airframes. The nice part about using the O-200 is the readily available parts.

Since I do not know the laws in Switzerland, I do not know what it takes to put the engine on and keep the government officials happy. I know it takes a Supplemental Type Certificate or a Field Approval in the US to do any sort of modification of that extent.

The model F-19 Taylorcraft does indeed use the O-200 and is very popular in mountainous areas and where there are many short airfields. So I hope you do indeed put the extra power on your plane.

So I've found both c-90 and o-200 engines in various states of repair

I am led to believe that the installation of c- series engines is mechanically similar to the a- series and uses the same motor mount.

What is the situation with the o-200?

Thanks
