PAUL, Bill has indicated some doubt about the thrust line location so
we should not depend on it.  I am happy with it being on center
horizontally but the vertical position is not clear.  I guess it is
not indicated on the plans. It seems strange that such basic
information is not supplied by Lancair.   Jerry

It is probably equidistant from the rubber bushings on
the Lyc dynafocal mount. Measure up from the ground
to the bottom rubber bushings and then to the top
and split the difference. Does Bill have the cowl yet?
Measuring the cowl placed against a right angle wall
will do the same thing.

Paul,the thrust line created by the Dynofocal  is NOT equidistant
between the mounts.  Here is a diagram.  Jerry

Thanks Jerry. I'll make a note of remembering that.
I think we had this discussion a long time ago.
I also think you uploaded it before but I could not find
the dwg. This dwg is good to keep around.

I can still use it using these dimensions to determine
the exact thrust line position.
