One day my Pietenpol is going to need a new engine and I'm considering using an O-200. Do they share a mount?
The logs for my plane say it spent the first 7 flight hours with an O-200, then the owner changed it out for an A-75 (too much power, he said). For that reason I assume they do use the same mount.
What is the difference in weight between the two? I think a dry/bare O-200 is around 170lbs, isn't a dry/bare A-65 only about 160? I would not want a starter or generator.
