I don't know the recommended motor mount to firewall bolt size you are
asking about, but my kit came with a motor mount for a 0-235 Lyc. It is
drilled for 5/16 Dia. Bolts. I would think that 5/16 bolts would be
sufficient for either engine since they are 100 - 35 Lbs lighter then the
Lyc. I have just got a good start on my fuselage and have decided that the
Rotax or the 0-200 has become my engine of choice . I will be interested to
hear the answer you receive.

I am working on the firewall on kit #719R.
I am trying to determine the size of the motor mount bolts to be used. I
plan to use a Cont. 0-200 engine or the Rotax 912. Are the bolt sizes the
same for either engine application? Cris 719R

Not yet. Leak testing and sealing right now. Most everything in hand to
get on with it except time.

Jim,
You are experiencing the syndrome known as "A homebuilt is never really
finished."
I personally think your rebel looks great in raw aluminum and paint on
the extremities - non-aluminum bits. Do you really want to add all that
weight just to have a little more color?
My plane was built in 1992 and its not finished either. When yours is 16
years old, you too will be able to say you have an unfinished airplane
and always will. In fact, mine is getting on in years and is getting as
much refurbishing as modifications. The workload never does decline as
near as I can tell. All part of the fun.
Would like to be with you guys on the way to Quebec but with my rather
considerable isolation of distance I'll have to settle for going out to
BC and flopping around some lakes I guess. Sighhhh!
Wayne and Bob - how about it?

weekend and was fortunate or unfortunate enough (depending on your pointaview) to park beside a beautifully restored Waco from Vintage Wings in
Gatineau. The Waco had a beautiful paint job and there was mine -
lookingenjoyedlittle incomplete.
But...... tomorrow is the first anniversary and I've been fortunate
enough
to put 166 hours on the Rebel - been to the West coast and Florida -Quebecflying with some great people and generally I have trouble staying on
the
ground. I still have a list of things to do and I'm not sure if I can be
without - while I get it painted, but I am starting to feel that that is
next.
Now I raced to get mine finished last year because Bob was organizing
his
"last ramble" to the west coast and I really wanted to fly through the
mountains, for the first time, with someone that had done it before.
Well I guess Bob and Anna aren't finished yet!!! (He was just kidding)
I look forward to meeting other pilots and co-pilots on our ramble tostartedCity and beyond in just over a month - wow just over a month.
So - "just get it flying"
Cheers
