POWERPLANT
7.5.1 ENGINE
The aircraft is powered by a Teledyne-Continental O-
200A engine. This is an air-cooled, four cylinder
powerplant that is capable of delivering up to 100 hp at
2750 RPM.
A throttle controls power to the engine. Each occupant is
provided with a throttle on the left side of the cockpit. The
air-to-fuel mixture is adjusted manually with a control on
the left side of the instrument panel. Pulling the mixture
control all the way back operates a cut-off valve on the
carburetor that stops the supply of fuel to the engine. The
mixture control should always be used to stop the engine.
7.5.2 ENGINE MOUNT
The structure of the mount is made of high-strength steel
and the engine is attached to the mount through rubber
mounts that help reduce vibration.
7.5.3 PROPELLER
The standard aircraft comes with a McCauley 71” x 41”
metal propeller. Optional propellers are also available.
7.5.4 ENGINE COWLING
The engine cowling is made of composite materials. The
upper cowl can be removed using Philips-head fasteners.
There is an oil access door located in the upper, right-
hand portion that allows easy access to the oil fill
neck/dip stick, making removal of the cowl unnecessary
during preflight inspections.
