Hey, ya'll. Got my DL 50 today. Measured everything, and I'll need an additional 5/8" standoff from the firewall. If anyone has mounted a DA, you've had to deal with this, too.
What solutions are out there for the DA or DL 50's ??? Plane isn't here yet, so I have some production time....
[Edited after completion - ended up making 5/8" thick, 3/4" square hard a/c plywood standoffs, because they could be more easily sanded for the offsets needed per bubbagates on thrust alignments. He was right.]
Again, I did not see this until now but I'll answer it for anyone that needs to know
I used the 3 inch standoffs for my Da50 and just slid the cowl back. The graphics still line up well and balance was no issue at all. Somewhere in this thread is a pic of mine on the inside. It's not pretty but it works very well
