Additional Remarks
- *PLEASE NOTE: A Lycoming 235 is the recommended engine, although the Lycoming 320 is a popular choice for higher speeds. The engine mount is Dynafocal: a strong, ring-shaped mount designed to suppress vibrations and maintain torque, engineered to focus engine vibrations so as to provide a much smoother ride.
