Hello readers,

I am planning to bring the engine forward on a Druine Trubulent and with that the prop +/- 350-400mm,(15,7 Inch)
Off course with this the cog will move forward and this will be brought back into the design spec by shifting other weights.
As long as the cog is in place then rest is ok, right ?


My question is what are the other factors that should be considered doing such a change;

-Airflow on the wing and tail surface?
-different handling?
-forces on the firewall?

Looking for some good tips,
