Mine is a little below center of the firewall. Roughly centered between upper and lower engine mount bolts. Tail is at the bottom of fuse. Seems to work fine.

Cable fairings
J_Hartline,
If you look up San Buchanans' builder site you will find the dimensions and instructions for making cable fairings. I simply stole his hard work for my build.

So if you are going to "Sam's" site, it's under the fuselage, page 8 for those of you looking to save a little time searching.

"Are those homemade rudder cable fairings? I'm planning on installing them as well."
I got the cable fairings from Aircraft Spruce http://www.aircraftspruce.com/search...irings&x=0&y=0

Stability isn't an issue. The only change I would make is to extent where the mount attaches to the firewall. I plan on insulating the firewall then installing the battery box, master cylinder, etc. In hindsight, I should have installed the insulation under the rotisserie mount and trimmed that area when the motor mount is attached..

I did extend the arms with pipe to allow for the battery box clearance. I also adjusted the pivot point much lower on the firewall closer to the center of gravity and it rotates easier. I need to play with the tail pivot point tonight to see if I can make it rotate still easier. I'm nervous rotating as I do not want things to go south, if something goes wrong what a mess I will have on the floor.

Finished my rotisserie today , very pleased other than it leaves the fuselage a bit high off the floor in the upright position. The roll bar clears the floor by about six inches when inverted. Perfect work height rolled on it's side so I'm OK with it. Very stable in all positions.
Thanks for the tips.
