Tom. For what it's worth.I would think long and hard before I extended the motor mount. I believe it would make your plane very susceptable to ground looping. You might want to investigate moving your wing back to achieve a good W&B. I would suggest you may want to put that question out to the group.Just my thoughtsGene----- Original Message -----

John,I'm not jumping in due to experience, only cause of various bits of knowlege from my Mentor.He locked and safety wired the mixture control on my A-65.He said that you don't have to worry about mixture till 10,000 ft or so.Don't know how high you plan on flying with the "A"Also don't know what type of fuel you'll be using.But he said that if using auto fuel, because it's so volitle, that it can start gassing off at about 6,000 ft, with a chance of vaporlock.In other words, he was more worried about the auto gas than the mixture control.walt evansNX140DL ----- Original Message -----

Just keep in mind that the bond of the fabric to the wood means nothing. The bond of fabric to fabric overlap is the strength.Some sew/buy fabric "bags" that they slip over the wing and shrink.walt evansNX140DL ----- Original Message -----
