Great planes Venus engine position
Just finished putting together a Venus and mounted the engine 4 15/16 in from the firewall just as the intructions state,I have yet to fly the plane, but I see in the new M.A.N. that the engine should be 4 1/2 in from the firewall. Outside of making an adjustment for a more nose heavy plane how will this affect the flight performance? I really don't want to remount the engine at this point since It's ready to fly.
Thanks

RE: Great planes Venus engine position
As long as your CG comes out to where it's supposed to, and the cowl fits, I wouldn't think it would make any difference.
Did you check the CG?
I also have a Venus that I'm building. I went with an OS FS-70. What are you using? Let us know how it flies.
