Is there a thrust line for the aircraft? ? In other words an optimal location for the propeller? ? How would I determine where to place the propeller when I build my engine mount?
I watched the EAA video on welding the engine mount (great video, thank you)? In the video he mentions the thrustline. I looked through my plans and didn't find the answer.?

The engine needs to be mounted as high as possible within the confines of fuse. This means the mount tubes running from the upper longerons to the conical mount ring will be angled uphill. Another tube will extend from the upper longeron mount down to the lower mount on the conical ring as well as from the lower longeron mount. I also ran tubes from the upper longeron mount to the upper crossover tube on both sides. This design is fairly standard for lycoming engines. If your O235 is a C model, the mount would be similar to the O200. engine mount. Roger Baalman rbaalman at cox.net - > > Has anyone here been involved in designing an engine mount before.
