Mark,
Don't want to appear to be a nag here, as I know I sent a message yesterday,
but I was wondering if you could also put me onto someone, PFA, or whoever
that might have that engine mount diagram. I am also interested in e-mailing
someone else who has a flying Subaru, and a recent look through old Europa
Club publications tells me that there are about half a dozen in the UK. Can you
put me onto someone who is flying as I would like to ask the following
questions,
and some more that don't immediately come to mind. Thanks again, in
anticipation.
Q1. How significant is the weight and balance in terms of a/c construction
compromises(repositioning of batteries etc), and more importantly
Q2. Are the flight control characteristics any different. I wouldn't imagine
that
they
could be, other than the a/c is overall heavier. As long as the a/c is within
its
CoG
limits, the flight controls shouldn't vary from one powerplant to another. That
is
right isnt' it??? I know its right, I think!
Q3. What fuel consumption are you getting at 75% power, and what revs is that?
For prop purchasing etc, what is the ratio of prop reduction you are using, and
wheat prop are you also using.
Q4. This www.sub4.co.nz company can build up a 125 HP, continuous, EFI
engine that weighs about 200lbs empty. That isn't too bad, and as I am 80
kg/175cm (160 lb/5'9"), I could probably go OK in a Subaru powered a/c.
