Thanks for all the replys, my local Hobby Shop has one coming in. My big concern is will a DLE-20 rear carb fit in the cowl without having the carb go thru the firewall.

I would hope someone can give me the dimension from the firewall to the prop hub.

Thanks

Ron

I have the new version of the Taylorcraft with a Zenoah 20 and in my opinion it could use more power. If you like scale flying the Z20 is the right choice. The dimension from back to prop hub for the Z20 ei 120mm so adding in the 28mm standoffs the dimesion from Hangar 9 would be 148mm. Personally I always extend this at least 6mm or so and if you use fender washers under the standoffs you should get about an additional 3mm. Hangar 9 deserves a bunch of credit for this plane they did a spectacular job.

I had planned to repower my Taylorcraft with a Zenoah 26 but, after reading mobyal comment that he has an OS 120 ax installed on his Taylorcraft, and I happen to have one and it is one of my favorite engines, that is now my engine choice.
