The Franklin engine company was alive and well in the late 60's in upstate
New York. I worked with them when they were developing the new line of
Franklin Aircraft engines. These were a twin, a four cylinder and a six
cylinder engine that all used the same cylinders and valves. They brought
them out first as an engine kit for homebuilders. However that didn't go
over very well because at that time there were not all that many homebuilts
and most did not want to spend the money for a new engine. Even as a kit.
When they finally went under financially the rights to the engines were sold
to PZL in poland who continued to produce the engines until recently.

Are you saying that PLZ is no longer making Franklin engines?
