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.
