I got the "Revisited" plans printed so I can make an assessment of the changes.
The engine drawn is the FOX 25.
Distance from the firewall to the back-plate of the spinner is now 84mm compared with 74mm
Total length from back of spinner to rudder LE is 865mm compared with 858mm, which indicate shorter fuselage from behind the firewall?
I checked the wings to make sure it is not a distortion, and they are perfectly aligned.

Bottom line is that I already allowed for the 10mm extra with my side of fuselage traces. Tomorrow I will have an opportunity to have a chat with an Enya "expert" and hopefully he will clarify some of my questions regarding the use of an Enya 15 which I can purchase new and should fit.

Cheers,
Eran
