| Subject: | 601XL/650 Cowling |
Dear Peter,
I just finished my 601HD with the E-81 and we did have to cut 2 speed
bumps in the lower cowl. It's not all that bad a job and I can tell you
this is the set up to have. I'm running a Warp Drive 70" 3 blade prop set
at 17 1/2 %. The numbers work on this very well. The engine starts
immediately and runs very smoothly and quietly.
Good luck,
Flyboy3847

Hi Peter,
The EA81 in the Stratus configuration is very close. The mount adapters
attached to the engine were originally designed to
duplicate the 0-200 mount pattern. The engine crank centerline is below the
prop centerline by 7-inches, so the valve
covers may bump into the 0-200 cowl width at that point. Otherwise the
length, weight and fit on a 0-200 mount is the "same".
Reiner Hoffmann originally replaced a 0-200 in a Cessna 150 with a EA81 and
his conversion FWF package was sold and is now the Stratus Subaru package
offered by Mykal Templeman. The Hoffmann Cessna looked very "stock"
externally.
The Stratus has become one of the better units out there and the belt
redrive, my preference, is undoubtedly the best design
I've seen. I've 142 hours on my Stratus EA81.
To answer your question, you'd probably not be able to fit up the EA81 with
absolutely no modification. That'd be a stretch.
