The pipe I have is 20 1/2" so I will have to place the engine where ever it lands..give or take 2"
If your pipe is say 3" inside the plane... you could always just make a tin protector larger than the end of the pipe and mount it to the fuse. Say.. one inch bigger all around. Its only there so you dont burn the fiberglass on start up. After that it should not be a problem. From what Ive read its best to have the end of the pipe at least 1/2" inside the plane anyways. It helps draw the hot air inside the plane out the rear.
