As I ponder the variety of aircraft designs and potential engine combinations, the thought popped into my noggin of hanging a 150 hp Rotec R3600 radial on the front of an Acrosport II.

The first thing that occured to me is that the position of the prop relative to the airframe would be different.

Would this be likely to cause significant complications?

Should there be some sort of modification in the airframe to compensate for the difference aerodynamically?
