Paul,
All the X & Y dimensions are from the flat firewall.
Note there are five mounting points. Designer call for up
to
180hp with the four point, with up to 260hp with five
points.
I'm trying to get an idea of the room using either a 13B
or
20B. Only one Bearhawk is flying (Elden Yates). Little
details, but Elden ended up putting his battery next to
the
PSRU to get some weight out on the nose!
Plan is to use Tracy Cooks PSRU. With 180hp,
Bearhawk
cruise is 140mph, with 260hp it is at 160 mph (75% on
both
numbers).

There are five mounting points on the Bearhawk Firewall.
Firewall is
approximately 2" larger at all mounting points.
In Inches:

VERTICAL MOUNT -

degree lean back - top towards tail)
is sin 6 *
(Thrust Y position) or an additional
1.656"

Does this look right?
Now you want me to lay it back 6 degrees?

Paul,
The bottom measurement should be changed from 27.500 to
27.688"
Upper middle is 24.844" from the lowest two holes.
Correct, rotate the firewall back 6 degrees. Point of
rotation is from
the lowest two points on the firewall.
Thank You,
Tom
OK Tom Here it is.
Paul Lamar
Looks good.
Bob Barrows, the designer, doesn't have an email account! No computer,
either! I suspect that is why he gets so much done.
Thanks,
Tom
I'll see Bob at OSH and show him some of this stuff.
Here are some preliminary 3Ds. Ask questions if you see something
that looks strange. Upper motor mount is not in yet but we
will use a rubber ball jointed strut mount to above the water pump.
Are you using and RX8 engine? That area differs from the 13B.
