Hi Paul,

It is the structure behind the firewall. As for turbo or P-port, It's
going
to be a flying truck on floats. It will probably never see 10,000'. Low
and
slow, besides you can't see the Moose from 5,000'. LOL Thanks for your
help.

I am kind of curios Rick. Why is the prop flange 45 inches from
the firewall. Most are 39 inches? Is there a lot of room behind
the IO360 when installed in the BushCaddy? I am also thinking
of the CG effects.

That was the information from the factory. They told me in the email that I
would have plenty of room behind the engine for an oil filter and mag work.
I guess so!

Regards,
Rick in Alaska
