Which Continental? The Pietenpol supplemental plan set has plans for amount for an A65 Continental. If he's installing a C85, C90 or O-200 Ithink the mounts are different than for an A65, but I'm not sure of that.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Mount locations are the same for all series of the small Continental engines includingA, C, and O-200.A common recommendation is to make the mount 2" longer than the plans show forW&B issues. A Google search will confirm mount dimensions. jack(at)bedfordlandings.c wrote:> Which Continental? The Pietenpol supplemental plan set has plans for a> mount for an A65 Continental.

Do you think the 2" longer mount would apply to the Skyscout (single place Pietenpol),too? Seems to me that it would. I would rather have some extra weightout front than deal with the CG by moving the cabane struts back as my only option.Thanks,Ray KrauseSkyScout now on its gear, installing the fuel tank.Sent from my iPadOn Sep 20, 2013, at 5:06 AM, "pineymb" wrote:> > Mount locations are the same for all series of the small Continental enginesincluding A, C, and O-200.> > A common recommendation is to make the mount 2" longer than the plans show forW&B issues.

what about making a set of spacer spools between the firewall and mount to getthe same thing done if you ended up needing the weight shift? I realize thatwould not necessarily mean the cowl would still work but it could allow for sometrial offset of thrust as well without a lot of extra work except longer boltto do some weighing.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Ryan,Your ant-eater comment really hit home! I have seen this on other Pietenpol planesand don't really like it. Guess I will just follow the mount plans I receivedwith the Piet plans. Guess I could always figure a work-around if needs be.Thanks,RayPS. Somewhere I saw a picture of a Scout with an extended mount. If I can findit, I will try to send it out.Sent from my iPad> On Sep 20, 2013, at 3:31 PM, Ryan Mueller wrote:> > > Preferable to use to use the less effective method to resolve a CG issue, eh?> > Remember, lengthening the mount 2" only moves the weight of the engine forwardrelative to datum.

One more data point for you: the mount that is on my Air Camper, "Scout". I havean A75 but it's pretty much identical in weight to the A65. The attached picturedoesn't show this clearly, but the nose of the ruler is right at the planewhere the engine mount meets the rear of the engine. As you can see, my mountis about 14-1/2" long (14" from center of engine mount bolts). My airplanebalances nicely with the cabanes swept back; I believe it's 4" of aft tilt.Empty weight is 636 lbs., with 307 on the left main, 304 on the right main,and 25 on the tailwheel (all in the level attitude).--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/a75_ ... __________
