I think I'm going with your new design when I redo my
engine mount, because I  won't have to modify the
airframe at all, and I think the engine won't move as
much with this mount because the rubber is closer to
the engine.

These drawings show the correct Rutan thrustline.
I had to move the left mount slightly forward otherwise
it would interfere with the rear oil port on the engine.
The one on the right needs to go rearward to avoid
the exhaust, so the two are about 1" apart longitudinally.

There were two rotary powered airplanes at Tillamook
today, Ken Welter was arriving at the museum as I
was leaving.

What are you going to hang the duct on?
Have you run across Jim Wilhaer and his rotary powered Murphy Rebel?
He recently moved to the Portland area?
