Apparently Frankling is going to continue, in0 Poland. The factory info might be:



Franklin0 Aircraft Engines Sp. z o.o.

ul. Chełmińska 208

86-3000 Grudziądz

Poland

tel. +48 56 / 46-54-316

fax. +48 56 /0 46-54-307

e-mail : office(at)franklin-engines.com

www.franklin-engines.com

Note it does not appear to be PZL. Go to the0 documents link and they have pdf links to parts books etc. If this is all0 true it's good new for Franklin owners.

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...
