| Subject: | Re: Kolb List Another HKS Engine question |
Thanks Larry, I believe your engine is mounted further forward than I have mine
(temporary mounted on plywood). I moved mine rearward a little to put the bottom
propeller tip further away from the bottom of the fuselage steel cage..I have
the same exhaust pipes as you do.
I will take some photos of my specific problem this week and post them to this
list, hopefully someone will be able to see and identify where I've gone wrong.

My spacers are two
inches high. You have to stow the wings with the ailerons
up, but it fits. I am swinging a 66 inch warp drive nickle
edge prop.Larry

I have been trying to figure out how to mount the HKS so
that the exhaust pipes do not interfere with the wings when
folding the wings. I tried moving the ailerons so that they
hinged "away" from the exhaust, but with the wings
in the fully folded (stowed) position, the exhaust pipes
will occupy the same space as the wing trailing edge tube,
regardless of where the aileron torque tube is.
The only obvious solution is to move the engine upwards
several inches (taller spacers between the engine and mount
plate). But after the detailed discussion we had about
thrust lines affecting the flight characteristics.... the
experienced Kolb flyers have made it clear that I need to
keep the engine mounted as low as possible.
So my question for the Kolb / HKS engine owners is: How high
above the stock Kolb airframe engine mount pads is your
thrust line? How tall are the spacers mounted under your HKS
engine, to allow the trailing edge tube to clear the exhaust
pipes?
