I think that RR sells an engine mount for the 0-200. 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. Larry Flesner
