1 to 2 extra lbs sounds about right. Let us know what you find out about the total weight and price.

Phill ,Got an email from Leon at the MZ factory . He says that in order to have the fan cooling that thepullstart has to be removed and the weight gain would be 1 to 2 lbs, he is going to give me a final weight for the engine with dual cdi and belt reduction and the Price later today I think .
1 to 2 lbs for the safe.cooling of a $5000 engine is a minor weight
Im sorry to ask but I have lost track of who has gain in my opinion
,Is it your engine they have in the Kolb shop It would be interesting to see what Bryan says. Chris

It is suggested that the 202 needs the fan, but not the 201. Time will tell. Let us know what the reply to your inquiry is.

Phil , Did you happen to ask what the weight of the fan cooling system would be?I am Only concerned Bryan at Kolb was worried about cooling . Why not take off the pullstart and add the fan cooling I think that would be a even trade. I am going to Email the factory and ask the questiion tonight. I will let you know as soon as I get an answer Chris

I decided on the mz201 for my Firefly. I only know what I've studied online about Simonini, Hirth, Rotax (used to own a 503 on my past Twinstar), and the mz line. I will know a lot more once I get my Firefly built and start running my mz201 on it (in the Spring).
My mz201 weighs in at 75lbs total fly-weight without the mounting plates and h/w for the engine and exhaust system, but including everything else; belt reduc, air filter, carb, muffler, elec and pull starters, all ignition components (harness, dual CDI, dual plugs). I thought it would weigh a few pounds less, but as far as I can tell, this is still 15-19 lbs less than the 447, with 4-5 HP more.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "FIRESTARII" <CCMFarms(at)aol.com>  Ok guys and gals ya'all got me thinking.... I know next to nothing about the MZ engines and have been seriously considering a re-power of my DCDI-503 powered FSII simply because the engine has very near 300 hours TT. NOW, when I posted that I was considering a Hirth some of you got all abrasive [Rolling Eyes] Is, in your opinion, the MZ a better/same/worse choice than the Hirth? Or do you die hard Rotax folks think I am simply better off having the 503 rebuilt and sticking with what I have???  I am not trying to rock the boat again just wondering how the MZ compares to the Hirth and the Rotax? -------- Low and Slow FireStar II Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=360964#360964http://forums.matronics.com/

Hope Phil doesn't mind me giving you the nod on some nice videos he has on YouTube of his plane and engine. Do a search using"ladiver99" Should bring up his whole list of available stuff. He was a great help to me when I built my Firefly
