<p>My son who is 16 is working on a CH601 HD which is now on a stage where FWF is required. We are looking for anything available in market preferably as a package. Has to be an aircraft engine like continental, Jabiru or friendly Rotax. First preference is to find a continental/lycoming engine mount and then arrange an engine at later stage.</p>
<p>Thanks with regards,</p>

<p>Harry</p> What about a Lycoming O-320 / Titan X340?tag:zenith.aero,2017-03-23:2606393:Topic:5587762017-03-23T13:33:01.231ZOliver Reikhttps://zenith.aero/profile/OliverReik
<p>I thought I put this thread in the open forum, as it applies to the Cruzer, STOL and maybe also to the 650.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I understand that Zenith designed the CH750 for engines with a weight of up to 300 lbs. I also understand that Zenith approves a max. gross weight of 1,510 lb, if the max. g-load is reduced to 3.8 G.</p>
<p>The Lycoming O-320 is around 90 - 100 lb heavier than a Rotax 912, but has at least 150 hp and is plentiful available.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most Rotax 912 powered CH 750s…</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Most Rotax 912 powered CH 750s are in the range of 750 – 800 lb. Adding 100 lb for the O-320, we’d be at an empty weight of 850 - 900 lb.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1,510 lb max. gross – 180 lb full fuel – 900 lb empty weigh = 430 lb payload</p>
<p> </p>
<p>430 lb payload would still be fine. Since the 900 lb assumption for the empty weight also appears to be a little bit on the high side, I would expect the actual payload to be more in the area of 450 lb.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On paper, it sounds as whether an O-320 might be a feasible option, the performance should also be great. Besides of the amphibious 750 on YouTube, I am however not aware of any O-320 powered Zeniths.</p>
<p>Are there other disadvantages, besides of the reduced useful load? Will it become nose heavy? How does it fly?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Titan X340 with 180 hp, a stroked O-320, should also fit. This is the engine which is used in the popular Cubcrafter’s Carbon Cub and the new Kitfox STi. Not sure, if the Zenith can handle the hp and X340 will probably exceed our budget anyway. Still, for discussion’s sake – this should be an awesome engine for a Zenith. Or not?</p>

<p><strong>WARNING</strong>, THIS ENGINE HAS HAD A PROP STRIKE. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I obtained this engine for our STOL 750 build. It was to be a build project, but it will take more time than what I have to give. It is now taking up shop space - it will go by sale or by dumpster.</p>

<p>I do have the original log book.</p>
<p>The log book TTE is 1760 hours. Two cylinders were just replace about 55 hours prior to being removed from service. </p>

<p></p>
<p><span>The build was completed in 2010 and is of excellent quality, I personally flew the aircraft with the Subaru and it flew great! We pulled and sold the Subaru engine to upgrade it to the Lycoming for more power. Minnesota/Michigan aircraft has always been hangared.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>We are a mission organization that operates out of Guatemala and we must sell this aircraft to enable us to purchase the aircraft that will better fit our new mission. We are only trying to re-coup what we have into this project. This will be an excellent performer with the 200HP IO-360 and 78 inch prop combination that we have.
