Hello Terry
I positioned the "motor dataum" (rear row of motor mount bolts) 14.5 inches from the firewall. Measuring on a crankshaft center line from where the datum crosses it. I also shifted the firewall end 2.5deg to the right leaving the center of the prop flange on the centerline call out in the airframe plans. I figured my motor will have a slight forward CG but I can adjust with battery placement.
Anyway.........that's what I did. This is my first attempt at building an engine mount...definitely no expert.

Buy one from William Wynne. Flight proven, locates the engine correctly, welded by an experienced aircraft grade welder, no need to reinvent something that is available. Save your inventing and innovation for stuff that is not available.
