it was un-drilled but that was an easy job.

Given that the EA81 makes best power around 4800 rpm, direct drive
probably not
a real good idea, a reduction of about 2:1 brings prop rpm down and a
good belt or
gear drive will also take the thrust saving the engine bearings

An alternative is find some Cessna pre-made wedges that are used on those

Hey there Larry, quite a setback for me.
I guess I didn't build it good enough 15 years ago.
The leak occurred during weight & balance - got empty weight, then
started filling 15 gallon header
tank (attached permanently to underside of removable front deck) - We
got about 14.5 gallons
in before
I were to do any sloshing, I'd do it with vinyl ester resin.
This is off subject, but viny lester resin can be applied over epoxy,
while epoxy over vinylester doesn't work so well.
