Perhaps a single 4" diameter pipe out the side of the long cowl so it looks like a turbine under there...just kidding.
I'm guessing this is a CG issue that could be solved by a shorter (Corvair length) mount and shifting some of the weight forward to keep the same CG envelope. Although, the long nose will probably look cool!
Possibly the first UL350 installed on the Panther 350 Mount

Looks great Dan! I'm leaning towards UL power myself at this time.
I'm so used to seeing the Corvair mount on there that this engine seems to overhang by a mile. Any idea what the cowl for this engine looks like yet?

Sides clecoed on, mount installed on the engine then mount installed on the Panther. I used a lift table purchased from Harbor Freight and was able to do the installation with no additional hands needed. This Panther is 18 ' 6" from tip of tail to the front of the prop hub. I expect that the total length tail to tip of spinner will exceed 19'. This has the long hub on it now, but may have to change it for the short one, depending on how the cowling comes out.
