Good morning. I am ready to design and fab an engine mount for a Geo
G10 in my 701. Can anyone give me the cg location and weight of a
Rotax (as installed in a 701)? Thanks.

Thanks Craig.
I did get some very useful information from one of the list readers. Since
he sent it to me direct, I wasn't going to mention it online. His info
included pictures, etc.
But, I do thank you for that piece of data about the 3-1 length-width
ration. I will use that in fabricating my fairings.
The list is good and I do appreciate Matt Draile letting us have our own
place to post.

I faired my struts with 016 as you are planning. Made a big difference.
It was also a surprising amount of work(as usual), took several days off
and on. I made a fixture for shaping the 016, it doesn't really like to
bend in a proper leading edge radius, as I am sure you already know. I
made them up in 4 foot "blanks" and then cut to fit. That put a joint
about in the middle. I put one pop rivet at each end and the jury strut
bolt holds it in the middle. The blanks were 8" wide before bending
mostly because that works out for a 2x4 sheet of material and gets
somewhere around the 3 to 1 ratio somebody mentioned but I wasn't too
concerned about that.
You aren't too far from my place...I think this fixture might fit in a
701 if you want to come borrow it. It took a little while to build it.

A few scratch built CH 701 in Australia use streamline Alloy as used on
the Lightwing seems to work well.
I will be using same when I get to that stage. (approx 3inch wide)
