Paul, I measured the longerons on the Legacy. They come out to 9.25" below
the top of the cowl or 1.125" below the top hardpoints.  The drawing shows
the thrust line to be 1.5" below the longeron line, then angles down 1
degree and to the right 2 degrees.

Paul, I was incorrect when I indicated above that the drawing shows the
thrust line to be 1.5" below the longeron line.  Another  look at the
drawing shows it to be 2.5" instead.

Can you take a direct side shot of the existing motor mount?
Also Jerry could measure the current existing mount when he gets it
and determine the thrust line from those measurements since
he has dwg's on Lycoming dynafocal mounts.


Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

I only have the pics that I sent.  The mount is not here now so I can not
take more pics.  I will send the mount to Jerry when we are ready to start
the modification.

Bill Bradburry

OK No problem Bill. Jerry can used these dwg to figure out
exactly where the thrust line is from the old mount

---------------------------------------------------------------
From this overlay the engine looks higher and not lower.
Not to worry Bill we will figure it out exactly when we get the
old mount.
