We are building a CH 650 and will be installing a O-200A
Engine.
What are others installing by brand and Size?

Al,
I'm using a three blade 68 inch warp drive. 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

The O200 is said to be one of the heavier engine choices. I'm waiting to
select the battery location until I've hung the engine, and done a
preliminary weight and balance.
I'd like to place it forward of the firewall, because longer cables add to
weight, and there will be some voltage drop due to the longer cable. However,
if the aircraft comes out too nose heavy, there may be no choice.

Bill,
Mine are just behind the right seat. Actually, I have two batteries there, the usual RG680 and a 8AH SLA as emergency backup for my electrically dependent engine.
On final approach with flaps down, I must hold back stick to maintain glide slope. This is not a problem, but would be much worse if the batteries were forward.
