Yes, I do, Rusty.  Its only 5/8" offset to the left and I am hoping that I can trim that with my leg flaring (I wish).  If necessary I'll build a new motor mount.  Some of the placement of the tubes in this one was not well thought out and has caused me to do endless work arounds.  So in some ways, something to motivate me to do a new motor mount would be a blessing.

Well, 'bout ready to place my order for my Monster 76/88 prop from Performance Propellers.  Tracy's is 74/88 but he feels that with the 2.85 even longer diameter props can be accommodated.  If too much prop, Clark Lydick will trim the diameter.  So will ship my RD-1B to Tracy to have it converted to a 2.85 RD-1C after I finish attending a couple more flyins in May.  Hard to get his "vertical" take off out of my mind.

Do you have a left offset in your mount?  I sure wish I didn't, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.  Now I just can't stomach the monumental re-work that would be required to go back to zero offset.
