   Thank you Akflyer,
   
   The engine will be 2000 Suzuki 1.3, 16 vlv. with a SPG gearbox 1:2.34.
   
   I already spoke with Airdale. It looks like there is no exact location of the thrust line on Avid MK4. Some old forum threads indicate, it can vary up and down depending on the engine and cawling (except ~2 deg fix in horizontal plane to compensate for the P factor).
   
   I assume, along the fuselage the thrust line is paralel with the tailplane, or is perpendicular to the firewall, but without drawings i have no proof of either assumption.
   
   Any measurements will be of great help to me. Also, any input fro Kitfox MK4 will be very valuable.
   
   Thanks,
   Dan

   Avid MK4 thrust line

   Hi group,
   
   Can anybody advise if the thrust line on Avid MK4 models has a fixed location, or it can be offset up and down depending on the engine type.
   Where is the point where the thrust line intersects the MK4 firewall,and does the line run perpendicular to the firewall ?
   
   I have no cowl and mount yet. My manual does not say anything.
   
   Thanks,
   Dan
