DA 150 / 170... same size?
Hi guys... I just have a quick question... mostly out of curiosity at this point.
I am buying a nice used Trueworthy Pitts 12 that has a DA 150 in the nose currently. What i am wondering is if I ever decided to "upgrade" would a DA 170 bolt right on in place of the 150 or is the length, mount pattern etc different?
That's it for now!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Scott,
Yep, I went from a 150 to a 170, other than changing the headers (150 are oval at the exhaust port, 170 are round), it was a direct bolt in

Hey Bill!
Good to know! Thanks for the quick reply ... Can you tell I am at work and working hard? LOL
How ya been? Sounds like we have both come a long way in our taste for planes since I sold ya that Goldberg Ultimate a few years back! Ha Ha
I can't wait to get my hands on this thing... it will be BY FAR the biggest, nicest plane I have flown.
What do you have the 170 in?
Talk to ya soon!
Thanks again,
Scott

Hey Scott,
Work, what's that....
My 170 is in a 40% Carden Cap232
One thing is the 170 is a bit lighter and in a short coupled plane like that bipe, you may need to rebalance it
