The Murphy Builders Site

Hello

As I know, it should fit. May be the IO-240 had some mod for the
accessories... but the "mount" should be the same (as per Franklin 0-240
too).

I do not understand that Murphy tech don't know that... THEY should know or
at least find the answer for you!

Another thing...

The IO-240 is about the same price as the O-320... With 25-35 hp less...
The O-235 L2C could also be "pump" to 125 hp... The Jabiru 6 cylinders also
show 120 hp

Sorry, I don't mean to get off track on your post. If you have an O-200 I can understand your question. But as far as the others, I personnally don't see much sense in using the O-235/IO-240 unless you have access to one for cheap. I have an O-235 L2C I had thought about installing in my Rebel (whenever I get to that point) but after looking at the weight vs. the O-320 it is sensless to me. May as well use the O-320 and if you are worried about fuel....that little thing called the throttle can easily be pulled back. I recently was on a 5+ hour tour with a bunch of Super Cubs and I was flying my O-300 powered 172. Flying at their speeds I burn a little over 5 gph. I guess what I am trying to say is it is nice to have the HP when you need it....just don't have to use it all the time if you are concerned with fuel prices.
I am waiting for Ron to get his Jabiru powered Rebel flying so I can get a report. :)

Does the 0-235 L2C have enough power to get a Rebel off the water on 1800 amphibs. or is that asking to much of it?

Yes, I do have a Cont. 0-200 that I am considering using on my Rebel. There are several reasons. I am trying to keep it light enough to qualify as LSA, 1320 lb. gross. I am using the std. bungee gear setup and have cut my fuel bays back to "two" bays per wing. I am located in the Southeastern USA and my field elevation is 500 feet above sea level. I never intend on putting the aircraft on floats. Additionally, my weight is 150 lbs. and fly alone 99% of the time. This is why I think 100 hp "might" do the job. Cris 719R

Rebel Builders, I contacted Murphy and inquired about a motor mount for
a Continental 0-200. Murphy replied that they do now have a motor mount
for the Cont. IO-240. Would the IO-240 mount work for the 0-200? Do any
builders know the answer to this question?
Thanks, Cris 719R

Hello

A buddy was flying a Canadian advanced ultralight Rebel (+/- a LSA) with a
65hp Continental! Was flying good! My Cessna 150 fly very well behind a
0-200 (very often 100 pounds over max gross weight) on a 2200 ft grass strip
without any problem...

I have looked for insurance for a Rebel and found it to be very expensive. Does anyone have a avenue for insurance that is affordable? AOPA was no help. Thanks

Eric,

I have full coverage through EAA's program agency, Falcon Insurance, without
a problem. The carrier is AIG (though it could also have been Global) which
causes some concern, though Falcon opines that the insurance division, and
assets backing it, are secure at this point.

Oops, forgot to address affordability. It is not cheap. $1M liability (the
cheap part) and $75K hull was about $2K/yr.

AOpa quoted $1600.00 a year fro $35,000 hull and the standard $1M and
medical. I thought that was pretty high...I pay $900.00 per year for a
C182 now with the same coverage and get twice the hull coverage!

I've heard guys say this many times and it is no doubt true in some
circumstances. The other side seems to be that the same guys rarely
seem to cruise at such low power. I think it is a combination of
roughness from one cylinder going lean first, plug fouling from low
temperatures, or maybe they just like to go fast?? My neighbor's 0-320
just won't run smoothly below 8+ gph. Anyway I wouldn't count on being
able to do it with a carb, standard intake system, and magnetos. I
believe that matched injectors, one or two electronic ignitions with
advance, and mogas will all help at low power.

Ken,
Thanks for that info. I hadn't realized the O-320 had an issue when running slower.I have next to zero time in anything with the Lyc O-320.
