OK the trick here is this side truss must lie in a single
plain. The length of the schertz beam is adjusted accordingly.
The lower outer firewall mounting points are not really
needed but we will use them anyway to laterally brace
the nose gear space frame. Not shown yet. There are
some othe minor braces as well. The rear motor mount will
required a custom oil pan but it too is rather simple.
Not done yet. I just want to know what all you people
think.

On the matter of the thrust  line. if it is only slightly off, the
engine mount will be junk.  About it there can be no uncertainty.
Lancair should be able to relate it to the firewall hard points.
When I  lay out an engine mount, the starting point for every
measurement is the cross hairs of the vertical and horizontal thrust
lines.    Jerry

I would have Bill ship the cowl to you Jerry so you can mock it up
full scale before final welding. It is very difficult to measure
3D objects like cowls.
