Alan,

Thank you for the detailed pictures they are perfect and help a lot.

I can see where the packing would help center the engine on the bellmouth. Earlier in this thread people were saying to eliminate the packing to get the Hawk to have no pitch change with power changes, that's why I elected to eliminate the packing.

One person went as far as to mount the engine on the bottom (reverse side) of the engine mount.

It is nice to know that with your setup you have no pitch changes with power changes.

One more question, The bellmouth has a curved lip at the end. The deflector has a recessed grove at it's end to accommodate the lip. As you can see the two do not mate and are off in my case by at least 1/2 -1".

Did you grind off the lip where it contacts and rest on the deflector? That would lower the pipe slightly. In your pictures it looks like you might have done that.

I wish the manual had the detailed pictures you have sent me.

Again, thank you

Stan
