What production plane was the 0-290 standard equipment in?


Aeronca Champ 7GC and 7HC.

Also Super Cubs like the L-21.

It's a dog engine now because of the scarcity of parts.


It was also used (O-290-D2) in some early Piper Tri-Pacers. 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.
