Woh, now there's something I missed. In all my perusing of the plans and
the build guide I hadn't noticed the floor extending back past the main
spar. I'm at the point of fitting my centre section spars so I'm glad this
came up. KRNet saves the day - again!
Cheers,

The different experimental airplane I lost a cylinder a couple of different
times due to the piston skirt banging on the crankshaft unknown to me I was
supposed to have filed the piston skirt down to the ride bearing sleeve.
Only about three thousandths but it was enough! Near plans claim I'll want
I can confirm that a KR with one person and a 2180 VW will climb on two
cylinders, but the pucker factor is much greater than loosing two on a
Vair for sure.

On the Corvair you could blow a spark plug out on takeoff and it
wouldn't be
much of an issue. Ask Bill Clapp, who's done that twice.
I extended the 3/32" plywood floor to the back side of the station "E"
crosspiece at the aft side of the spar cutout. As for the 1/4" ply, I
considered it as part of the load structure for the lower engine mount and left
it in although I am also planning on hanging my rudder pedals / brakes from
4 matches
