I just thought that I'd start a thread concerning the MZ201 and MZ202 engines. If someone on the Kolb-list might have some experience with these engines mounted and flown on Kolbs. I'm considering an MZ201 for my Firestar MK1.

Has anyone heard from Jack Hart? His notes on lightening his Firefly are invaluable to anyone building one.
do not archive

George,
This is a great question. I have an MZ201 (an unusual dual-carb version), and was going to use on a scratchbuilt plane, but I became enamored with the Kolbs and bought an Ultrastar a couple months ago. For me, the attraction of the MZ201 was its very light weight. With redrive, the MZ201 weighs 68 lbs. The MZ201 weight includes the exhaust, carb, redrive, and hand start. The distributor has a neat picture of the 277 and MZ201 on a balance beam, with the 277 clearly heavier than the MZ201.
That said, the MZ201 lacks fan cooling and its free air configuration seems unsuited for a pusher layout. My Ultrastar has a Cuyuna ULII-02 and with its exhaust, reduction drive, pull start,carb, air cleaner, ignition parts and prop attach flgs, weighs 82 lbs (actual - measured in my garage). I would love to replace it with the MZ201 but cooling has been a stumbling block... Any ideas you might have for using in in a pusher would be appreciated.
The MZ202 has fan cooling but the fan cooling system replaces the pull starter, which necessitates an heavy elec starter. That, and the gear redrive, raise weight considerably - its more like an 84 lb all up weight.
