Subject: engine mount question This is to all of you experienced guys who have fought through theW/B for a 65 Cont. I have started to make some brackets, and thinking about the mount. Everyone talks of the Aircamper being tail heavy as a rule. I'm 220#, and planned on adding 1" to the mount. Does this soundright to you guys? The rest of the plane will be made per prints. thanks, walt evans________________________________________________________________________________

understanding was that, if you use a Continental, make the longfuselage and the mount per his plans, ( all plans gotten from Pietenpolfamily) , you were pretty much in the ballpark. Just figured I'd justhave to fudge for my weight.walt-----Original Message-----

Yes I have the longer fuselage. The Improved 1932 version. The A-65only weighs 170 pounds, so, it has to go out further or your wing willhave to move back to accomplish the balance you need.-----Original Message-----
