What do you guys think about fabing in a recess in the firewall to mount the RX1 aft of firewall center line 1.5”-2”. 
I have an original C cowling that I’m moding the cowling anyway but would help with the fit and CG. 
 

Pros/Cons any advice or input is much appreciated!

Avids do tend to be nose heavy, so the further back you can keep the engine, the better.  As long as you don't have to cut out a bunch of tubing.  I did remove the center tube on my Avid when I made a recess for the carb/aircleaner to fit into.  Only went in about 1/2" though.  In the second picture you see where the tube is missing if you compare to your fuselage.  JImChuk
