Stephen: To try to answer your
questions:
1. The metalized wings weight 42 pounds more than
the fabric ones
2. I have put a O-200 in a Coupe. It is no real
problem except for the changes in the cowling. The engine mounts move the engine
about 1/4 to 1/2 inch forward, so you must modify the cowling to make it
fit.
3. Performance is increased only in the rate of
climb area. I used a 69 X 50 prop with 337 approval (The STC calls out a 69 X
48). This helped reduce the tendency to overspeed, and kept the cruise
performance about equal to a well tuned C-85 or C-90.
4. Rudder pedals just take up room in a Coupe.
Once you learn to fly without them. They get in the way. The limited travel
(inboard) really reduces their effectiveness, and they only seem to help in
cross winds up to 15 knots.
