Rosco's haynes Build

[Rosco]

My main doubt is the more photos of people builds I look at the more seem to have the engine skewed

If anyone could agree or disagree that would be great!

Argument was about angle of u/j's in the prop but you would need a center bearing anyway.

[Tatey]

Ross you can just use a 2 UJ prop setup with the UJ's 90 degrees out of phase, no need for a centre bearing. You only tend to use a centre bearing when you have 3 UJ's in the proshaft as you need the centre bearing to support the centre UJ otherwise it would be free move in free space.

Sorry I'm confused, what argument?

Yeah I thought that but I thought it was a bit long for a single prop?

Few exhaust clearance pics



That's looking straight at the side



That's looking straight down the axis of the exhaust ports



And that's a ruler coming straight out of the port



Hopefully I might be able to drop the engine down a tad more, just waiting on AB performance to give me some sump dimensions

[Rosco]

Well spoke to AB performance today, real nice chap with some good ideas backed up with some good evidence,

So I've moved it again, haha

[Rosco]

Think I've got clearance around everything that I need to have

So Tatley off the haynes forum who lives not to far from me has kindly lent me his body work so I can mock things up



Looking a bit like a car!



There's a bit of clearance over the top, this is saturn body work but I'm holding that the exquinox may be has a bit more

I believe the Equinox scuttle and nosecone come up taller - i can measure mine this evening and post some pics if it helps? Actually, now that i've got my engine mounts done, it's about time that I do what you have anyway!

yes if you wouldn't mind, that would be great
