Where in front of the motor is the rad going? What are the rad dimensions?
I'll put it in the 3D.

Joe, from the photos it looks like your engine is much farther from the
firewall than mine. Is this based on using Tracy's redrive and putting
the prop at a certain F.S.?  My installation is not one to copy or use
as a reference for a redrive-based installation, just curious how you
are locating the engine. If you get the engine too far aft you may have
to add weight to the nose. Can you use a prop extension on the redrive?

Paul,

         Plan on using Tracy's PSRU

Perry,
         Did the CG calculations and placed the motor a little aft.  Don't
forget the fuselage is 4" longer moving the pilot forward the canard went
forward and is 7" longer.  I also have the longer nose on it.  Sam Kreidel
did all of the mods and used a 0 360 moved it 2" aft and had a 9" prop
extension.
