Hi to all,
I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience with keeping Franklin
engines running? I'm curious about a couple of homebuilts on
barnstormers that are for sale, and I see that some Maule's have them
as well (which a friend of mine in interested in buying) and was
curious if parts are still being made (especially for the 90 hp
version) or if there is any factory support at all? Weren't they being
built in Poland for a period of time? Is the type certificate back in
the US?
Often when you purchase an aircraft with a Franklin engine it comes
with a spare. Seems like Franklin owners like to keep a backup.
