Searching for a Walter Micron II/III

The Mikron III with a little more horsepower, and more importantly torque, is probably more suitable for a Pietenpol.

The Mikron II with 62 hp really needs a clean airframe to make the most of it. Even then I have to watch weights with the Tipsy, as full fuel load or two larger people can reduce rates of climb quite dramatically.

I have done some flying in a Pietenpol with a 65 hp Continental A-65 and it too can get quite marginal with a full passenger load.

Mind you, a Piet with an inverted engine would look nice.

If you or your friend are ever in the vicinity of Bicester, we would be happy to introduce you to both types!

You’ve got me intrigued Andre. What aircraft is the engine for?

Not for one of these is it?

One of my friends thinks it looks good for his Pietenpol Aircamper project. Especially one of the earlier models Mikron. I doubt finding a Mikron I would be possible but a II or III is hopefully not too tough.

A nice piece of engine you have there yourself. Very nice!

Cant help with the engine Im afraid, but to help with searches, especially on the web, it is Mikron, or thats what I have always known it as anyway.

Fixed it. Thanks!

Are you looking for an airworthy engine, or something for ground running, or static?

You can’t have the newly rebuilt one below, but we’ve got quite a lot of bits left over from the rebuild! PM me if you wish….

We need a complete, airworthy engine. Thanks!
