Joe
       I was looking at your MM ... How far from the firewall are you
    mounting your engine?  I'll be mounting mine soon but I was going
to
 try
    to keep in as close as possible.

 Mike,

 My engine is mounted a little further aft than most mainly due to the
 fact that the aircraft is streched 4.5" so calculations with weights
put
 it further aft.  Are you building a pusher?  Canards are very CG
 sensitieve.

 Hi Joe
    I didn't know you stretched it... Guess that would do it.  I'm
 building a Long EZ, here are a couple of Pics... As soon as I can get
it
 back on the gear, probably by the end of the summer, Ill try to finish
 the MM.  Probably a couple of years away from finishing... Still have
to
 build the strakes and rudders.  It's all about Time and Money!

 Still going to use the vectored thrust idea Mike?

Mike,
Nice job!  You have your hands full with the full retracts.  Who did
your canopy?  Keep the pics coming.

Joe


Thanks Joe
 Canopy came from Todd's Canopies... Still have some work to do... When
it's finished it will look like a Bearkut... F4 Style... Have all the
Hardware just need to get the time to finish it.
