I’m considering a DIY engine mount for my turbo 13B engine.  Does anyone out there with an operating 13B (turbo or NA) have good numbers for the installed weight and CG location for his/her engine/redrive/prop combination?  I want some ballpark numbers to get started.

 

Thanks.

I can't help with actual weight/cg numbers, but I can tell you what I did. I asked a couple of people who are already flying the same model a/c that I'm building to give me their firewall to prop flange measurement. Unfortunately, I'm not flying yet, so I can't tell you how well it will work out.

FWIW,
