Most definitely a concern. Primarily curious about it. I’ve seen relatively few but know they’re out there.

Sure does look different. Haven’t seen a Franklin up close yet in person.

Mostly out of curiosity, I’m wondering what it would take to swap out a continental for the Franklin 165. I thought it was a factory option way back on these planes but a closer look at the TCDS seems to point to it being approved as an aftermarket change. Any way to find out for sure and maybe obta...

Does anyone know if it’s a different engine mount between a Franklin 165 and a C-145?

Does anybody have any experience using the SCS pre-cut carpet or vinyl kit?

In general I am looking to do a new interior on my 50' A model.

Thanks,
