CorvAircraft> Centre of Balance of Engine

[John Martindale]

Hi Carl

On the Corvair I removed the oil pan and then balanced the engine across a
3" piece of angle iron. Good enough for engine mount calcs.

Hi,

I am trying to work out the expected weight and
balance for the engine so that I can work out the
distance for my mount from the firewall.  Somewhere my
mind tells me that it is about the centre of the
center cylinder.  Can anyone enlighten me on this. 
Also if anyone has worked it out for a Davis DA-2A, I
would like to here from you.

Thanks for the expected help,
Carl
