<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I will bite to only suggest that the mean
center line of the CG is what would have the most significant reference for
snaps and engine mass if located same distance from CG and same off set of
midline then how can orientation of a reciprocating moving mass have any
differing effect on the stalled snap of the aircraft as we can stop the snap in
any attitude we choose to with the same results only difference I've ever
noticed is timing. It may be so subtle that it is hard to detect but I do
fly my aircraft very neutral and suspect it would be most noticeable in that
trim state. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That makes sense to me. I am really surprised
that the question did not get a bigger response though. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am way too lazy to conduct any testing on my

way.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>John, <BR>I'm not sure if I'm right on this, but I think that
I would like to have all that Mass(bulk & weight of the engine head)
located on the centerline of the aircraft.I think that all that off-center
mass could produce some unexpected and unwanted effects during snap type
maneuvers(and probably others) where radical changes in aircraft speed
differentials might magnify the off-center forces in a detrimental way
causing exagerated pitch and roll responces making control during certain
maneuvers difficult to compensate for. I don't have any empirical data to
back any of this up, but it just doesn't feel right to me. <BR>Georgie
