Changes or add on's to the Franklin 90hp engine

(1/2) > >>

Woody:
Scuttlebutt is there is a lightweight starter from Sky tech (now defunct) that will fit the Franklin 90.  Southern Aero (Robert Still) knows about them and where one might purchase.  Several pounds can be saved with the change over.  Also there is a conversion to change the heavy Eisemamn mags out.  That plus an alternator should shave 15 or more pounds off the engine.  Check it out.   ::)

Culver Dreamer:
 Hay Woody: I havn't seen any new pictures on your web site in a long time how about an update. Have you bought these weight saving items for your engine?

Brett Lovett:
Sky-Tec is defunct?  I don't believe that is so.

Woody:
The word was scuttlebutt -- That's what Southern Aero told me and I know the man that bought up their supplies.  That's all I know as I too did not believe it at first.

Woody:
 I'm working on another plane right now.  If everyone will pitch in $1000 I'll post more pictures on my site. (ha)
I need to upgrade the entire web site and I do have a few new pictures including a rebuilt Franklin.   Yes -- If possible, I plan on making the engine as light as possible.
