Re: Q2/200 Engine mounts
|
Hi Vern,
I got the thrust line on the 3300 pretty close (+/- 0.2”) to that of the O200. I was able to use my original Q-200 cowling halves with not too much alteration, other than the self-inflicted issue of building the radiator ducts. Sometime down the road, I will probably slice off the forward scoop that was used for the carb intake on the O200 and serves as the oil cooler intake on my engine. I can clean up the drag by doing this, so it is on my list for down the road. Won’t affect the oil cooler, since I will install a NACA duct on the bottom of the cowl, which actually will be better for cooling during climbout.
Cheers, Jay

Just curious Jay.. was your 3300 also at the O-200 thrust line or did that change? I know for sure on my engine choice the supplied cowling is not a useful item. I will be hinging in 4 sections. 2 up and 2 down. Different materials and construction process.

I computed the vertical position of my empty CG when I was doing my weigh and balance by changing the angle of the fuselage from zero and recording the difference in scales and FS’s, then computed the vertical CG from those. I will see if I can dig that up. I also did a measurement of the difference between the thrust line of the Revmaster and the O200. They are not the same. Will see if I can find that also.
Cheers, Jay
