Hello
I'm at the point of working on my cowling and have to make a decision on my
engine placement.
I have not as yet weighed my airplane and know that will be the next thing
but I can't find anywhere in my plans anything about the spacers I have that
go between the engine and mount.
I have a partially completed plane that came with the spacers and a nose
gear but I noticed at the gathering that some of your firewalls are forward
a couple of inches of mine. Some of you use spacers and some don't, some
of you put spacers between the firewall and engine mount. What's the deal
here ? Are there some changes in newer plans to move the firewall forward ?
When I push down on the tail it takes a lot of pressure to lift the nose and
if I move the engine forward it will be even more so.
We are talking about a KR-2 with a VW Revmaster nose gear.
Thanks,
Steve Bray
