Hey all, mulling over Engines for my S7 STi that arrives in March. Ive landed on an O-200a for specific reasons. Those being 1: up here in AK there is little to no support for Rotax, 2: I need to be able to hand prop the plane in the event of a dead battery, 3: Price. This will be a VERY simple overall build Dynon HDX suite/Ipad with WAAS antenna. That's it. Light weight is the key as I need more room for Moose and Caribou. Most likely an Airmaster IFA prop.

My PLAN is a high comp 200 with tuned exhaust, and some sort of Ignition.

So here are my questions:
1: Battery location, did you move it aft?
2: What is your empty weight
3: VX/VY speeds?
4: basically are you happy with it?

Any other info you have would be fantastic like what is included in the FWF kit, or really anything helpful.

*For the Record* I am not a Rotax hater, Im actually considering a 914. 200 is Primary choice. 165 HP MoGas Titan is a close second.

Thanks all!
