REFLECTOR:Franklin Performance specifications

[Brian Michalk]

I have the type certificate data as amended on December 8, 1994 to PZL by
the FAA.  Please see:
www.awpi.com/~michalk/e9ea.pdf

I don't know why PZL advertises their engine as 205 horsepower, but I've
heard lot's of speculation.  When I was a dealer in Franklin engines, I
asked PZL why they did this.  I still couldn't get an answer that made
sense.  It was like talking to a politician.  Even looking at their TC
doesn't make sense.  The 6A-350-C1 is the American made engine rated at 220
horsepower.  The 6A-350-C1R,L is the PZL made engine, rated at 205
horsepower.  On page 7, note 9, they list the difference between the C1 and
the C1R:

"6A-350-C1R Same as -C1 except for new starter, alternator, and voltage
regulator
to be compatible with 12 volt system; modified starter gear and
damper assembly; new propeller shaft seal and speed governor;
relocated starting injectors; and oil sump modification."

So unless the relocation of the starting injectors, or the damper assembly
caused a reduction in 15 horsepower, I don't see where they are different
power-wise.

I quote from the current (to my knowledge) type certificate referenced
above:
model			max horsepower	max RPM
6A-350-C1 		220			2800
6A-350-D1 		200			3200
6A-350-C1R*		205			2800
6A-350-D1A 		230			3200
6A-350-C1L*		205			2800
6A-350-C2 		215			2800
6A-350-D1B		220			3000
6A-350-C2A 		212			2800
6V-350-A		235			3200
6A-350-D 		235			3200
6V-350-B		235			3200
