Thanks, guys.

I thought about a Sprite since I have an almost complete "firewall-forwards" for one that never got built. The engine, being pre-approved, would be an easier job to fit than trying to get PFA approval to fit it in anything else.

A Pietenpol would be nice with this motor but you have to wonder if the aggro of getting approval would be worth it. Same weight (or slightly less) than an O-200 but 30% more powerful. Spares are a bit of a prob. Some remanufactured parts have some "issues" with compatability. Fortunately my engine is comlete and has never been run.

That onr on the AFORS site might suit me. Tried to contact the guy without any luck but will try again tonight. Thanks AV8R!

Alternatively, does anyone have a 2-seater to trade for a 130hp engine?

Sir George. The building is as much a part of the project for me as the flying so a "90% done, 90% left to go" kit would be good.
