[rebel-builders] O-235
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:55 am
I built one w/an O-235, 108hp out of a Piper Colt..Worked fine for me, got
it w/a metal Sensenich prop, for $3500, copletely overhauled it and flew it
for about 200hrs before I sold the acft..Flew an honest 105mph at cruise
rpm, got in and out OK, burned 6gph, maybe a little less.There is a company
that sells an adapter for an oil filter{ARC?} which I installed. Acft was
fairly tightly cowled and I never installed an oil cooler. Saw temps of 200
degrees on occasion but not often...Valves on older models were meant for
leaded fuel, so that can be a problem. That is my 2 cents.. HP is always
nice, though..
