Engine Offset - Thanks Mike!
Mike,
Thank you very much for your help and patience with my questions about the engine offset on my Extra 260.
When I first mounted the engine and put on the cowl, I thought I was going to throw up when I saw how far off center the spinner was relative to the cowl's opening. I measured and re-measured numerous times trying to figure out what was wrong. I was ready to redrill the firewall when you said there was some "wiggle room" with the cowl. That did the trick! Everything looks great now. If not for your advice, I would have royally screwed up by redrilling the firewall.
Thanks Again!!!
