--> Tailwind-List message posted by: Eric Schlanser <eschlanser@yahoo.com>

Jim C and other trikers,

Since trike construction notes indicate the engine is to be mounted 1 inch higher
than the tailwheel version plans, are there any special considerations to the
(Lycoming O320) engine cowl construction? I have raised the firewall about
1.5 inches at the sides and 3 inches in the center. 

How about for the bottom of the cowl considering the nose gear? Any special considerations
there?

the inside of the scoop on bottom of the cowl was very close to the airbox
carb heat /air inlet scoop that attaches to the bottom of the carb you need
at least 1/4" clearance between the two or you will have to cut open the
cowl scoop to get clearance make sure you have enough room between them Bob
Danner bye
   also make sure you have clearance on the nose wheel gear leg and the
carb.
