Here some pics. The lid(for lack of a better term) extends throught the firewall only leaving about 3/4" to the back of the engine. This is all the room I have for the metal tubing and fuel lines.
Thanks!
G'day Mate,
Move your engine forward on the mount & rebolt, very unusual that it has to be that close to the firewall. Then you will have plenty of room for your fuel lines.
Even if it is cowled, the cowl can be slipped forward to match. It won't matter, if you have 3mm clearance from cowl or 8mm.
If you are worried about balancing, you can adjust the balance of the plane by moving the batteries, later.
Thanks Alan0899, I can't move the engine more forward because of the cowling. I'm already a quarter to an half inch to far forward now. If I go much farther the cowling won't fit.
This isn't a "recommended" engine. It's bigger. I know that it will happen with a little help from you folks. It's just a little mod I've got to figure out how to get done with your kind help.
Thanks!
