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 -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of LarryMcFarland Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2009 10:58 AM Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: 601XL/650 Cowling 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.
