Lyc O-235 Installation Advice

Posted on October 16, 2011 at 9:26am 5 Comments

I'm looking ahead to engine installation details - most likely for a Lyc O-235. (Yes, I know they are a bit heavier, etc., but I am familiar with Lyc engines and prefer to go this route.)

Jim,

I am also building a 750 and plan to use an O-235-C with 8.5 to 1 pistons @115 HP. Zenair has plans for the motor mount for about $40. I have talked to Warp drive about a prop, sounds like the way I will go. Lite wt. starter and alt.. Will be making my own exhaust, just a simple 4 into 2 with no muff's to keep the # down. I wil also be building a 4 door cowl that is simple and gives great access.

Happy building, Paul
