Wynn's corvair weighs about 205lbs. without theelectric starter.He has it on a 1933, short-fuse plane & extended his motor mount 6" to getthe right w&b.With the lighter Franklin, I suspect you would need to go a little longer&/or move the wing back.Andrew Pietenpol is putting a Franklin 80 in the new Piet he is building,but I don't recallwhich fuse he is doing, I think it is the longer, corvair-mount version.Hope this helps.Cheers!________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 14:34:36 -0400
