Technical data, specification
and performance figures subject to change without notice. Alternative
engines will affect performance, specifications and flight characteristics
of the aircraft. Also, the weight and balance of the aircraft may be
adversely affected by alternative engines, and the original fuel system
may not be adequate or suitable for some engines. Most alternative engines
will require a custom engine mount and engine cowl. Zenith Aircraft
Company does not manufacture or directly support engines.
