Subject: Long E engine mount.

Checking over the engine mount locations in your drawings for the Long EZ,
the top mount
is located too high and would require a major redesign.  The correct
location for the 1"x1"
(some use 1 1/4" or larger) aluminum angle extrusions are as depicted in the
attachment.
That is, the extrusions lay on top of the center section spar, just inboard
and against
the top fuselage wood longerons.

OK Richard I'll fix it. Thanks.

BTW another advantage for the simple cooling system is you get get
a real slim cowl.
