To Allan Tolle:
I am having some difficulty understanding your focus on the length of the
reduction drive as a major factor in the weight and balance calculation.
Seems to me that the slight additional length of the drive merely puts the
prop a little further forward. Since most people don't use my 50 lb (guess)
McCauley constant speed the additional moment for the prop is not a big
issue to correct.  Perhaps you are concerned with having to lengthen the
cowl or nose bowl???

On a slightly different issue I'd like to go on record that I believe there
are significant numbers of us out there that agree with Tracy's view of not
needing racing standard performance out of our engines.
