[f-AA] Anyone know if the Stroker C85 w/ O200 parts allows just swapping O200 pistons? Or another STC?

Am guessing that it sure is not 6.3 and would hope its higher than 7.1!

airplane may be for sale in the near future--Old age and 35 years of
breathing airline cabin smoking is catching up. It is a slick
conversion and likes to run. I am waiting or someone to put one in a
Chief see what at widebody does, Doug

engine has all that but with a C-85 cam, I was under the impression that
the FAA agreed that it was still a C-85 (Modified) which means you still
are under the 91 HP where a spar inspection is required.

BIG trouble if you have persdonal anything--Lawyers are being fazed
out of the new magic electronic compter estates, Sorry Jerry, So if
you don't go by the in place rules you may have a bill to pay..
Computers and emails have ruined the country I grew up in--where let
the "Buyer Be Ware" ruled..If you invented the wheel today it would
take you years and mega insurance costs policies to get it approved
and by then all those that need your invention would be buried and
happyly flying in the Lords world....Doug PS--The world is
simple--the government rules are not. People are their own
ememies..And to think we won World War II in less than 4 years..

I agree with most things you say, but have to take you to task on this!
It was the ALLIES won the war, of which America was a part.
Ian

Totally agree, it was a joint effort, most of the world against the Axis of Germany, Italy and
Japan.
The one thing that America brought to the effort was its production facilities. Along with our
allies we built the equipment needed to over-whelm our enemies. Just wish that we had
made a few more airplanes, jeeps, motorcycles and guns and put them in my hangar!! :)
Joe (who wishes we had a few leaders like Patton and Truman around these days!)

We also have to remember that the Soviets were Allies, and the y contributed a lot to the effort. How many divisions of the Wehrmacht were tied up on the Eastern Front, who otherwise would have been fighting in western Europe?
And always remember that the Russians took more casualties, including civilians, than the rest of the Allies combined.

Eisenhower and build a B-24 every hour at Willow Run. I end there. I
grew up during that time and have many memories good and bad. Most
people today have never experienced anything like it--rationing, food,
gas, tires, clothes and etc. And better hope they never do--it would
be a TREMDOUS attitude adjustment..# Doug

Even before Pearl Harbor, wasn't it expected that we would eventually enter the war? The old Civilian Pilot Training program began before Pearl Harbor, to start building a corps of aviators. I don't know much about the late 1930s to 1941 period, but something makes me think that we did start getting ready for the inevitable.

of Hitler and Roosevelts problems with his supeere court, losing
control and the economy in general. During this period as a kid I got
to watch the WPA workers lean on their shovels while they were paving
streets,building parks, stadiums abd anythng that the govr't could
figure to make work--There were CCA camps for young men to working and
send teir money home to their parents. I lived it as a youngster and
thru WWII--Korea was my war getting in college. I will leave it there
but if you didn't live thru that period you don't have clue--like the
millennials todays--they are spoiled--End of Speech.. Doug -- I will
be personally be leaving teh aviation scene in the near future and
spend the rest of my life, what is left enjoying it--I have had too
many airline pilot friends that I worked with leave scene many years
younger than I am now and in fact today it is hard to converse with
people that can just BS flying as it used to be. It is hard to find
anyone today, other than a few, that know what these old airplanes
were and are--many make mountains out of mole hills. The country has
doubled population since my arrivial, social rules in the 1060-70's
opened the door for self center ignorance on all fronts God Bless the
USA. . With that I leave--Doug--it has been a good ride since 1956 but
all things must come to an end..Time to forget about "regualtions"--
