Hi Randy,



 Thanks for the post on Franklin engines.  I looked at their web site and got more interested.



 The weight looks a little high at just over 200 pounds, but the 123 HP at 2800 RPM looks very attractive.   The specs show 100/130 fuel, so I don't think it wants to run mogas but should do fine with 100LL.   I don't know if I have the proper ability to come up with a FWF package for such an engine, and Jabiru offers all the answers in a nice neat package.  Still, I am interested to learn more about the Franklin choice.



 I sent them an email asking for USA distributor.  I will post the reply if I get one.

They are not continuing... the plant that was

manufacturing the PZL Franklin was purchased by Pratt

& Whitney Canada.  Then, PWC decided to stop the

production of piston engines at that plant (their

business is turboprops and jet engines).  A new

company purchased the tooling and plans with the

intention of resuming production.  Apparently this

what happened.



I also heard that somebody in the US wanted to become

the distributor for those Franklin engines (I'll post

when I find back who it is).  This distributor would

not be the same as the previous one who has the

Franklinengines.com web site. (I purchased mine from

him just before SnF).  I don't know what is the

pricing with the new Franklin manufacturer...
