Power plant multipurpose aircraft consists of a piston aircraft engine with a capacity of Continental C85 85 hp, which is quite a bit for the type of aircraft, however, at the same time, the aircraft can accelerate to speeds is quite satisfactory, and to overcome the distance to 965 kilometers. Aircraft Engine has a high reliability and, as a rule, quite simple in its service and maintenance.
