This is going to be one great performer with
a 300 pound 250 HP P-port Mazda rotary turning
a six foot prop. Lots of room in the cowl for
the cooling system.
If anybody knows Bob Barrows email address please forward.
If not please print the pictures and mail them to him.

The dimensions shown are all you need if you have Jeff's plate
and a motor mount jig.
I am thinking of welding up a tower for sale that can be used
to hold Jeff's plate in position if you want to build
your own jig out of plywood. This could save you
some time. All you will need to do is set the tower
to the proper height and locate the fire wall hard points
on the plywood. When you are done with the tower
you can sell it to someone else. What does everybody think
about this idea?

Paul,
Yep.
Are you still using Rhino for your 3D modeling? I'm going to try it out.
Just wondered if you had an opinion on how well it works and how it compares
with other more traditional modeling tools like Solidworks?
Mike Wills
Rhino does better cowls than Solid Works while Solid Works does better
fillets. IMHO the learning curve on Rhino is no where near as steep as
the learning curve on Solid Works. If you need something done in Solid
Works that Rhino cannot do one can export Rhino files and import them into
Solid Works. There are some people on here that will do that for me.
Jeff and others uses Solid Works. Several on here are also getting up
to speed on Rhino.
