Hey David,
Thanks for the info. when I'm ready to build my Illusion, I'll have to lay out everything and see if the belly mount will work. One thing that I've got going for me is that the tank location will not be an issue since I have a YS60 for the plane. However, the engine angle may very well be an issue since the fuse is already cut out to install the motor at approximately a 225 degree angle (if you're looking from the front of the plane). The fuse has also been cut for the header and pipe based on the motor angle.
Since I have a set of trike gear Rhom-Aire retracts with a fire wall mount nose gear, I may decide to use them instead and save my MK retracts for my dream plane - an Atlanta (Hey Chuck, Hint Hint Hint.......
