Bill Schertz,

 I talked to Rich about that and he said the dynafocal mounts sagged
 about an inch at the prop flange. That is why things are the way they
 are :-)

Now I am confused,

Your drawing of the firewall indicated that you had set the thrust line at 8"
below the top of the firewall.  When I measured my fire wall, I find that it
would be 9-1/4" below the top of the firewall in order to be at WL -1.0 as
called for in the manual.  You replyed that you had to move it to 8" in order
for the thrust line to exit out the center of the molded cowling.

If Rich was compensating for sag of the Lycoming motor mounts, wouldn't the
cowling opening be *lower* than WL -1.0, since the prop flange would settle
some, but you had to go *higher*.  What am I missing?

Maybe Rich was pulling my leg. More likely he did not know about the error
in the manual.
