Thanks for jogging my memory. I knew there was a 2cyl somwhere. The only
experience I have personally is with the 6A-350:)

The 65hp Franklin was a 4 cyl engine made in the 1940s. It was a very smoo
th runing and quiet=2C but less powerful than the Cont 65. Later in the 1
960 s Franklin made a 2 cyl 60 hp eng that was used in a Champion aircraft

The 4A-235 and the 6A-350 are very good engines and parts are pretty readil
y available and generally inexpensive. However the 65hp is only 2cyl if my
memorey serves me correctly and unlike theier kin does not have very much
torque and thrust for 65hp. And parts? dunno where you'd get em. I'd say
boat anchor :-o

I flew the Piet for about an hour late yesterday afternoon. Temps on the
ground were low 60s but it did cool off at altitude -I took it up to 4000' to
clear some mountains. The tall windshields and a good windproof
fleece-lined jacket, along with leather gloves and a ski cap kept me pretty warm.
I'm
hoping it'll be comfortable enough to fly through the winter on warmer
days without snow on the runway. Sure was pretty with the setting sun and the
last of the fall colors on the leaves!

One thing to keep in mind about powdercoating is that, while it is very durable,
it is also flexible, and can sometimes hide cracks in the metal underneath the
paint. For this reason it is probably best to avoid powdercoating critical
structural components (like the motor mount), and just use a good enamel paint
instead. Should a crack develop in the one of these parts, the enamel paint will
also crack, making it easier to detect.
