For 7000 rpm 60/3500 = .017 sec.   .017/6 = .00286 sec or 2.86 millsec.   .00286 *1100 = 3.14 ft or 1/2 of that would be 1.5 ft or 18" for a runner length, at least if my math is correct.  This is only an approximation but should give you an idea of lengths.
 
 
Hi Ed,
 
Was this a test to see if I was paying attention?  Shouldn't this be 7000 rpm 60/2333= .026 sec ?  Either way, these lengths seem mightly long for the cowl space I have. 
 
Thanks for taking a look at this.  I'm not sure what I'll do, but I also need to get rid of this #%&@ oil leak first.  I made some progress on it, and hope I've got it beat now.  Won't know how wrong I am until next time I fly.
