Continental Motors Challenges The LSA Market With A 199 Pound
O200 Lightweight Engine
The growing challenge of marketing to a wider GA market has been
met well and thoroughly by TCM with their introduction of an O200
Lightweight Engine for sale to the Piston Aircraft market. The O200
Lightweight Engine line is the first American Made Aviation Piston
engine purpose-built for the Light Sport and Kit Aircraft
markets.
"Continental Motors is pleased to continue delivering innovation
with its products" said Rhett Ross, President of Teledyne
Continental Motors. "The O200 Lightweight Engine offers aircraft
builders a certified and pedigreed engine that is lighter in weight
without compromising performance, durability or service life" Ross
(pictured below) concluded.
Sporting identical dimensions to the O200A, the O200 Lightweight
Engine weighs in at a slim 199-pound dry weight and comes complete
with starter, ignition, and fuel systems. Additional features
include light weight cylinders, lightweight precision balanced
crankshaft, sprocket propeller flange, weight matched connecting
rods, and numerous additional features.
With a list price of $21,499 the O200 Lightweight Engine is an
attractive, American-Made aircraft engine for any piston powered
aircraft. Orders for the O200 Lightweight Engine can be placed
immediately with delivery dates beginning in August 2009.
As an added incentive to builders considering an O200
Lightweight Engine, TCM will accept any aviation engine core in the
85 - 115 horsepower range regardless of manufacturer. The engine
need only be a complete and operable aviation engine. Details and
limitations are available from TCM.
