FS: Continental O-200

This engine was just removed from my Cessna 150. It ran almost 100 hours in the past year and gave me great reliability, but reluctantly I swapped it out for an overhauled engine because of a leaking case bolt that requires splitting the case to fix.  The cost of labor for a certified aircraft did not justify the expense in an older engine.  Would make a great engine for a Zenith. I'm building a Sonex, which doesn't support the O-200.I'm selling my core - just listed on Barnstormers for $6500…See More

I am not yet a Zenith builder but am seriously considering purchasing the tail kit. I would like to be able to read over these forums and see what other builders are saying about the 650.

Hi mike
Yes I do get those figures but it's been a lot of work ther is a definite step in flight if you dont get the trim right you won't get the performance.

Mike, I have a 601 that has been converted to the 650 which includes the new nose landing gear. I also have the Jab 6 cyl engine. It's about 75% finished. I love the 750 enough that I may want to sacrifice my 650 so i can buy a 750 kit. Let me know if you are interested. All modifications have been done. I can also provide delivery to your door. Wings are finished and ready to close. Tail finished. Fuselage on gear with engine installed. Excellent workmanship. 920-237-1450.

I'll give you a call next week, Mike.  If we do it right you can check out my 601 and go up for a short flight to see what you think.

Mike I have a 601XL-B Kit with wings and tail complete.  Had engine mounted when good luck struck.  I stopped building and sold the engine.  I have the plane on Barnstormers.com for 9K but----Give me a call.  Ed Hamilton 27 Belmar Blvd Waretown NJ 08758               609-971-8757
