Mike, How much weight was needed at the tail to compensate for the 0200? Also, did you consider extending the fuselage, say 16"" like the option offered by the fellow in WI?
Would you comment on performance? The 0200 seems like a great engine option for the mod 4 if the added weight could be compensated for.

If you're looking for horsepower and low weight, consider putting in a Jabiru 3300 (120 HP). I've got one in my Classic IV and actually got 47 lbs of useful load back from my EA-81 installation. My plane weighs in at 778 lbs but would be lighter if I hadn't overbuilt it.
I actually had to remove the ballast I had in the tail (an ELT) for weight and balance with the new engine. It was that much lighter than the Soob. I'm really tickled with the engine now that it's broken in. It's a blast to fly.

In retrospect I would have extended the airframe by a foot or so, as the KF is really short coupled. I can't recall how much ballast I added, but I took an old battery case and bolted it into the back of the frame. I loaded lead shot into the case until it felt right and then sealed it with epoxy. I can't remember what the ballast weighed right now.
I considered other engines but ended up putting in the 0-200 as I got it from a friend who was parting out his cessna 150 for a real good price. I normally cruise around at about 2200 rpm at 85 knots on 4.5 gph. That is good enough for me as I am a low and slow type guy. It climbs like a homesick angel.
