    I've been flying behind a stock low compression o200a in my 7ss for 3 years. I like it. I'm guessing it's like anything else, if you dont have a side by side comparison with a lighter one, you have nothing to complain about.
    Wings are straight, not swept. Battery is odyssey 680 behind the seat. I think balance is perfect. Tail weight 58 lbs. Empty weight is 900 lbs, but I have traditional 6 pack steam gauges and custom made seats. My wife and I are 300 lbs combined. Us, full fuel, full baggage puts us just under gross of 1550. Cruise 103mph. Climb full gross 600 ft/min on 85° day at near sea level. I have to say that 15-20 more hp would be nice. Sorry for late responce.

    Well that's good news. Thanks for the info. Hopefully the go fast parts will give me a little edge.
