I am still in the very early building proces of G-200 kit #11, but it's been a while since I started wandering if and how much the plane would benefit if a lopresti engine cowling was installed. Did anyone ever thought about it? Also I know that Bob Freeman had wing tip extensions installed in his G-200. Did it help alot? Were thay used also for aerobatics or only for crosscountry flights? Were thay fuel tanks or simple fairings? Thanks all. Vittorio Primultini

Hello all, I am now looking for the engine to install on my G-200 progect. I found a used angled valve AEIO-360 engine that would come for a good price. Unfortunately it has one incovenient, the prop governor is on the back. I was wandering if may be somone of you knows of an engine shop that could exchange the engine case and all the parts that needs to be changed, with a case that has the governor on the front of the engine. The good side about the engine that I found is that it would come together with a just overhauled MT prop, a light weight prop governor, light weight alternator and last but not list a Sky Dinamics exaust system. So I am REALLY tempted to buy this engine despite the trouble of having a prop governor on the back. I know this is extremely dificult, but I thought it is wirth a shot. Thanks. Vittorio Primultini
