I am trying to find out what the distance fron the FIREWALL to the OUTSIDE OF THE COWL FACE IS, I need 6 1/4" for the Gas engine I want to use. Any info would be appreciated.

Ron,

I lost my Dynaflight PT-19 earlier this year due to dumb thumbs....[:@] However, I still believe I have the instruction manual at home. When I get home I will look for it and see if it says anything about the measurement you need. I will let you know what I find tomorrow.

What gas engine are you considering for your plane? I flew mine with one of the old big block Saito 120's that I got NIB for a song and the plane flew awesome with it. I would think a DLE-20 would be a great motor for the plane....

I am looking at using a SYSSA 30cc or a DLE 30cc, both have rear carbs.

Hi Ron,

The distance is 5.25" In mine it would be possible to cut away part of the firewall to allow for a rear mounted carby. I used a OS 108 in mine and am soon to repower so I would like to hear how your "shoe horning" goes.

Cheers,

Colin

I have a NIB G-23 to power mine when I get around to building it. I traded a built one for an unbuilt kit, so I could add flaps and wing fillets easier, but kept the G23 I had bought for the other one. I remember it being a pretty good fit in the cowling. The new owner has a G38 in it, but I can't remember how much he cut the cowling to mount it.

Hey Crash,

Thanks for posting the info. You saved me having to tell Ron that I could not find the information he needs......

Hey Crash,

I'm currently building the Dynaflite PT-19 and intend to install an OS 1.08 2-stroke engine. May I ask you why you plan to replace the 108 in your PT-19? Thanks for any advice you can offer!
