Builders,
Murphy DOES have a motor mount for the IO-240, but I am planning on the

O-200 in an effort to meet LSA. The Cont. IO- 240 engine weighs appx. 30
lbs. heavier than a Cont. 0-200. If I use MAMs IO-240 motor mount with
an engine that weighs 30 lbs. less, will the Rebel tend to have an AFT
C of G. ?

Probably just means you get to mount your battery in front of the firewall
and your ELT in the baggage area. Save some more weight at the back by
leaving out the rear floor. It really shouldn't matter too much anyways cuz
the only thing that changes C of G very much on a rebel is baggage and to
be LSA legal you're not going to be carrying very much of that.
