I think that is where Jeff Scott got his. I'm using what I believe to be a HAPI VW mount for my 0-200 the same as Marty Roberts. I seem to recall that the 0-200 mount puts the engine several inches forward of the HAPI mount location. The problem Jeff has is that it puts his CG rather far forward. His KR is a 24" stretch like mine. My HAPI mount puts my CG in the center of the range with full fuel (wing tanks only) and me at 200 pounds but I'm at the rear limit with another 200 pound passanger and no baggage. Look for the installed weight of the 0-200, with full electrics, to be closer to 240 pounds than 200 pounds. Marty Roberts has the 0-200 on a standard KR2. He's not on the net but someone might be able to find out where his CG falls with the HAPI mount. I almost forgot, I spaced my HAPI mount one inch off the firewall with alum spacers. I'll try to remember to take a measurement the next time I'm at the hangar. I think if I had a straight KR2S instead of a 24 inch stretch my CG would be right on the money. I don't recall if Jeff Scott has a header tank or not but that would have to be factored in.

I originally bought enough dynel to do 2 planes. I used it on the wings. It is an interesting material. 1) it seems like an ideal material when you pick it up, thin flexable & smooth. As soon as you put the epoxy to it the fibres stand up like the hair on a scared cat. Dynel is a very slippery substance and highly resistant ti abrasion. Now try to sand it off! Good luck. The finished product is not strong and is easily ripped apart. I put a layer of regular 6 oz. boat cloth over top of it and gave the dynel away for free. My neighbour put a layer on a cedar strip canoe that he was building. He started the sanding and curse it (and probably me too). The final results looked beautiful. The first time that he put it in the water he ran the canoe heavily over a sharp rock which he could hear scrape fom end to end. His heart sank. Inspection showed NO damage or marks. Remember the slippery properties of dynel? If you are going to use retractable geer I suggest a final layer of dynel on the bottom of the fuselage, you know for that "wheels up landing" that you are going to make sooner or later.

Don Reid's article had very good and detailed comparisons. He even gave sources for the weight saving components.
