RE: Long ez 46 engine mounting question.
Aerodynamically, there is no similarity between the full scale Long EZ and our models. The full scale has a super-critical airfoil on a much smaller canard. If you built a model that way, it wouldn't be controllable, if it ever got off the ground.
As an example of the difference, the model Long EZ will fly inverted quite nicely and it will do both upright and inverted spins and recover from them easily. The full scale won't do any of that.
