Paul I wanted to order one of your Universal Motor Mount Kit for my Long EZ. I attached a Rhino model of my Firewall and Hard points.
Could you add the mount, Engine and cooling arrangement and send it back so I can see how it all fits? My Engine will be a 13B P-ported with a TO4 Turbo. I already have Jeff Doffridge’s Adapter Plate.

Looks like there will be turbo interference with the top motor mount
   hard point and tube.

I would move the top hard point out board on the spar just below the skin.

If you can accept zip I can send the 3DM.

I suggest your register with Garret and get an IGS for the TO4 turbo you will use. The TO4 seems to hold up well with the rotary.

Steve Ells, what kind of turbo is Bob Rogers using?

Paul,

I trick I have to use all the time these days to send zip files via email is to just rename the file leaving off the .zip suffix.  The receiving party should be instructed to rename and add the .zip suffix.  Just ignore the warning from Windows when removing the suffix.  Many mail programs are apparently programed to exclude .zip and .exe files.  The rename trick works with either.

Hi Paul
  Gary is right on if you change the extension to .txt or something I can just change it back to .3dm when I get it. I think moving the hardpoint outboard will be very hard and would leave a blister.  It could be done but not a very elegant solution.  Any other idea?

Here is a suggestion. Modify the motor plate with a bit of tig welding to move
the right side rubber bushing inboard. Mount the turbo out board of the motor
mount tubes and as far forward as consistent with the air intake.

You will need a bit of a blister on the top surface of the wing.


Where do you want to put the intercooler?
