Hi Paul,
any of you can help me in display the structural loads on Cozy? I am trying to
figure the loads vectors at fligth and in the touchdown, regarding a engine
something more weigth than Lyco O-320 and how may I perform reiforcements on the
sides to work fine in a power of 250 Hp, and not with just 180-200 Hp, like in
the original project.

The guys in general makes reinforcements in the hardpoints on the firewall, of
course, but maybe will necessary more than this?

Attached, a image of the side of Cozy, shown the bulkheads, upper and lower
longeron and others structural stuffs.

Thanks in advance.

What is the vertical distance between the green lines
on the firewall. In other words what is the vertical distance 
between the upper and lower Rev TFV (Tape).
I assume that is where you want the motor mount hard points
on the firewall?

If you have it built please take a picture of the firewall area
from the rear looking forward. another picture looking back
inside the turtle deck in front of the engine above
the spar and another down around where the landing gear 
retracts into the fueslage.

I assume this a retractable version of the Cozy?
