Hi all I am about to start work on my engine mount ( diehl case 2275 vw ) will I need to factor in a thrust offset or not ? Also what length mount are you using ? The plans say 6 1/2 inches but I am thinking with a diehl case and starter it will need to be longer. All thoughts appreciated

Thanks Larry and those that responded. The plane is already built but no engine or mount. It was originally built with a 0-200. I am putting a VW 1835 on it. Insert sad emote here. I am going to build an adjustable jig. You thought I was going to say "engine mount" didn't you. Ha ha ha, . .

If I recall correctly (from about 1989) I tried to get the engine thrust line at center of crankshaft to line up with the top longeron. I did not offset the engine laterally to compensate for p factor like I have read that some planes do. Too much math for me. -- next part

I'm not an engineer but I've been in the presence of a few. I was told the thrust line is typically in plane with the top longeron. I set mine at 2.5"s below to accommodate the Corvair and the starter. Check out the KRnet Archives. Type "thrust line " in the email body section and watch the

When I run up my 2108 VW on level pavement, the nose will dip down and the attitude gyro shows the number of degrees. Shut down I hung weights on the crank shaft to get the same nose down pitch. Using similar math as for the weight & balance measurements, I calculated the thrust to be 203

Funny, my instructor called them the "Trauma - hawk" because of the T tail being less responsive to prop wash when you need it the most - stall recovery. Raising the trust-line I would think increases the loads on the upper half of the firewall. Maybe not enough to worry about, but I sure like

I guess I should have answered your question, which is that it's generally considered to be in the same plane as the top of the top longeron. That's been arrived at by the fact that if you buy an RR or Revmaster cowling, that's where the center of the prop hole ends up, blah, blah, blah... Mark
