Tony, I have the old engine mount and cowl with an XS tailwheel. Prop
clearance hasn't been a problem so far in >200hrs - you would really
have to lower the nose quite dramatically on take off or be on really
rough bumpy ground to clip the prop.

Subject: Europa-List: New Tailwheel, old engine mount???????
--> <tonyrenshaw@optusnet.com.au>
Gidday,
I am wondering about my setup preference of the new tailwheel with the
old engine mount, the old cowls and the consequent low prop clearance. I
am wondering if prop clearance is the only consequence,and how
significant this is? I am aware that the new tailwheel reducing the deck
angle no doubt promoted the engine to go higher, and therefore give much
the same prop clearance. Europa think it appropriate to up the engine,
but I like the old cowls, the 912S, and the new tailwheel. This is my
chosen configuration, this week. Any advice with this will be happily
appreciated. Reg Tony Renshaw Sydney Australia
