| Subject: | Engine Mount / Axle Placement |
While everyone is off having a great time, I've been here hammering out my
Tailwind, and I have a few questions:
I extended the forward bay 2" for more leg room, and more fuel. Tailwind
Times #1 says place the axles 8" behind the firewall.
I think the axle placement should be right below the leading edge of the
wind, so with the firewall extension, should I place the axles 10" behind th
e
firewall ?
Should I build the engine mount 0=BA and 0=BA, or should I have a little do
wn
thrust, and a little right thrust, and how much ?
The plans for the tailwheel show the wrap around piece that supports the
tailwheel axle, to be .090". I think Jim C. makes it in two pieces, and wel
ds it
down the forward part, as well as on the inside, then puts the top gusset on
.
In my notes, someone suggested using .100" for this. I have enough .090" to
complete the tailwheel, but I haven't got any .100". Should I order some
.100" ?

Chuck, I believe you should maintain the 8 inch trail measured from
the firewall. regards, Jerry
