This will take a while, my brother is away on long term business
(Seawind there in FL). I will try Bob Darrah and see if he has this info
at hand.
BTW, the Seawind mm has a dynafocal to box frame that SLIDES into panels
on the front of the fin. The whole engine is cantilevered off this small
box mount. Very unconventional.
Marc Wiese-
OK Marc. Yes I know here are some pictures I took. I need the dimension
of that oval shaped panel. On the other hand maybe we could build on
the existing mount. Looks like the best place for the rads is
to use the existing cowl and put them on either side of the
engine with curved cowl flaps on each side. How wide is the cowl?

If anyone is interested there is a Seawind project for sale at the
airport that I am based at for sale that has a 3 rotor with it
however the engine is not mounted. If interested you can contact
Devlin aviation at 360-834-2744 this at 1W1 Camas WA.
