Hi Bill,

I believe Zenith sells a 601 to 0-200 standard mount that Stratus has 

bolt on adapters using

Lyc dampers # 71032.  Zenith also does a cowl that works for the Stratus 

powered 601.

Larry, In all the pictures I've seen it looks there are modifications

needed to the standard cowl to fit a soob.  Is this true?  Is this

fiberglass work? There are lots of pictures with odd bumps and modified

openings, but I've never seen a description of what is really required

to put a cowling on a soob.  Do you know if the same cowl would fit

either are RAM or Stratus - I assume it depends on the geometry of the

PSRU?

Hi Ron,

You'd be right about modifications, but the bumps are provided with the 

cowl so you can place them as you

put the cowl over the engine.  The images on the cowling page link 

pretty much show the process I went thru.

Not difficult, but certainly workable. 

I doubt the RAM engine is going to be exactly the same, but it would be 

close.  His might have another mount

arrangement. The RAM engine has a gear reduction.  I prefer belt for 

ease of inspection and ease of repair.

Check out the link pages I've provided and click on pictures to get 

larger views of what's needed.  I've got a

couple of pages on fiberglass if you've not worked with it before.  Not 

difficult once you work thru a piece

or two.  I use polyester resin type in lieu of epoxies. Much cheaper and 

it will hold up well. Certainly easier to

repair.

The geometry of the re-drive and mount bracketing that fits the Subaru 

would be key here.  RAM  does excellent

work and has very good product.  I went with Stratus because I liked the 

dual Bing carburation, belt drive and the

arrangement of the engine accessories.

Hi Ron,and Larry, just like to add a couple of foot notes Ram makes a engine 

mount for a 601 and I know that , the " Big Z "sells a Jab. cowling that fit 

over the Ram engine, It is very streamline with a long narrow look, and 

requires a little triming and alot of sanding. If you go to www.rayair.com 

you can click on the video of the orange and white 601XL taxieing and flying 

it has the Jab.. cowling  that I'am talking about,that's my plane. It had a 

"Harley" engine in it then , and now it has a Ram/130 ,same cowling .Ram 

also has a new redrive that he developed that 's super fine.I think the 

reason Ram uses the gear re -drive is because of the H.P. He makes a 

100,130,140, and a 250 H.P super charged all E-81 engines .The geared 

redrive is for the upper H.P. engines and being that he's  knowes it will 

hold up on the upper H.P. he uses on the 100. If you want to take a look the 

web is info(at)ramengines.com Thank's Joe      N101HD 601XL/RAM

Cool, I take it you like the RAM.  Both the RAM and Stratus look like  

good options to me. And it's nice to have options.

I found the the pictures and videos at http://www.skyray.us.  Nice  

looking plane.  Seeing all these completions flying is a real  

inspiration.
