The HCM spacer gives you enough room to move the factory cowling forward and use FAA/PMA spark plugs in all 8 positions. You have to clip the tip down to 67" to provide enough ground clearance in case your bungee fails at the same time you get a nose gear flat. The extra weight up front helps keep you away from extreme Aft CG loadings where non-linear stick input sensitivities appear to exist. Check out McCauley manual no. 730720 or Bulletin P-0161-F for other options...

The HCM spacer gives you enough room to move the factory cowling forward and use FAA/PMA spark plugs in all 8 positions. You have to clip the tips/diameter down to a 67" to provide enough ground clearance in case your bungee fails at the same time you get a nose gear flat. On some well used props, they are almost down to this diameter due to repairs over the years. The service limit for a certified application is 67 on this model, so if you found one just under, it might be had for a great price.

Not flying yet but the engines running and feels good. I used Lightspeed plugs/adapter on the top cylinders (ala AMD) so as to use the standard cowl with no "blisters"/prop extns etc. Cheers Peter Wonthaggi Australia http://zodiac.cpc-world.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith601-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of alsmith Sent: Tuesday, 13 October 2009 1:09 AM Subject: Zenith601-List: Propeller Selection We are building a CH 650 and will be installing a O-200A Engine.

I put two on my XL. You may wish to email them to see if they still have them and request they send you a couple, but they are only about 150 - 200 mm long.
