I may have posted this to the wrong address so I'm
sending it again. Sorry if you receive it in
duplicate.
Hi Everyone,
If there someone on the list that is familiar enough
with the differences between Russian and Romanian
manufactured M-14's I'd appreciate it they could
provide a brief outline of those differences. In
reading through various online articles and forum
posts I've picked up that there is something of a bias
against the Russian manufactured engines but I'm not
sure why.
Did either country manufacture the entire engine in
house or did one import from the other?
Do the PF engines follow the same bloodlines as the
different P's or were all of the PF engines made in
one place?
Thanks in advance.

The Russian mechanics that I know of (Andrei Glukhov, Sergei Makarov; Sergei
works for the Russian aerobatic team) consider the romanian engines of
lesser quality.

Wonder if there is any objective fact behind their consideration or if it may be a bit of pride and nationalism?

Indeed, I don't think that there are any hard facts to prove these
statements besides somes biased subjective impression.
During my military service in Germany (many years ago) I had the opportunity
to compare Kalashnikovs manufactured in East-Germany (DDR), the soviet
union, and Roumania. The German rifle had the best finishing. The Russian
rifle was good. The Roumanian was not so well finished, but good enough for
the job. They fired equally well all three.

I've heard the following quote about aerobatic airplanes......
"If it looks good and flys like crap, it's French.....If it looks like crap
and flys good, it's Russian.......If it looks good and flys good, it's a
Pitts"
