Its well over 20 inches out from the block with plenum and fuel

I really don't think straight is all that important.
I think if it came straight out it would be above the wing anyway.
Do you have a more detailed drawing showing the thrust line relatives
to the top of the spar?

Here is a 3D of a Long EZ. Looks like it will come straight out over the
wing.

Morning, Again, Paul...

Snow is still falling here, so it's a good morning to do a little more
research...

Found a few dimensions for the Long Eze that may or may not help...as I
said, since the plans and books are down in the hangar, I'm scraping
these up from various places on my computer. You can see that they are
quite a bit different from the Vari-Ez's.

    * Wing Span:             26.1 Feet (313.2 in.)
    * Canard Span:           11.8 feet (141.6 in)
    * Overall Length:        16.8 feet (201.4 in)
    * Overall Height:         7.9 feet (94.5 inches)
    * Cockpit Width, Front:  23 in.
    * Cockpit Width, Rear:   21 in
    * Cockpit Height, Front: 36 in
    * Cockpit Height rear: 35 in
    * Cockpit Length, Front: 70 in
    * Cockpit Length,, Rear: 54 in

Not sure how the cockpit measurements are taken...probably the internal
dimensions, and of little use for our purposes with the engine.
