I can't recall how much ballast I added, but I took an old battery case and bolted it into the back of the frame. I loaded lead shot into the case until it felt right and then sealed it with epoxy. I can't remember what the ballast weighed right now. I considered other engines but ended up putting in the 0-200 as I got it from a friend who was parting out his cessna 150 for a real good price. I normally cruise around at about 2200 rpm at 85 knots on 4.5 gph. That is good enough for me as I am a low and slow type guy. It climbs like a homesick angel. -------- Michael Meyers KF IV - Cont. 0-200 N598BM L67 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=365626#365626 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:23:35 PM PST US Subject: Re: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: Stancil Aircraft Busted for Selling Aircraft to MX Cartels From: aerobatics@aol.com Where are you in Florida now.... ) -----Original Message----- From: hastedt@iodp.tamu.edu Sent: Sat, Feb 4, 2012 5:59 am Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: Stancil Aircraft Busted for Selling Aircraft to MX Cartels About 26 hrs now.
