It really isn't that much of a dog engine, as the whole top end is the same thing as on the O-435 direct-drive series. Parts are available from El Reno Aviation and are less expensive than some of the "modern" engines.

What production plane was the 0-290 standard equipment in? Thanks. Early Super Cubs, Piper Pacers and Tri Pacers were probably the most numerous user of that engine, the very earliest versions of the Apache (the Twin Stinson) had them but there was only one of these.

Towed gliders with one such, 'way back when. Can't recall excatly where but I do remember everyone insisted on speaking Italian. (Probably when assigned to HSA Naples. We boughta the gas so we getta to drive!) -R.S.Hoover
