Counter-intuitive; I'd have guessed that the wider seating on the 2-seater would result in the engines being further apart than on the one-seater.

No, just trying to spec out the differences between the one seater and two seater so I can choose the best one for my purposes.
So far Dave has provided the only measurement, 58" between crankshafts on his restored 2-seater. Does anyone have the distance between crankshafts on their 1-seater?
Nobody has shown any data on single engine service ceiling (the density altitude you can maintain with only one engine running). This concept is not relevant to the lower-power planes, but I'd be interested in knowing if the Solo with redrives, Dave's 2-seater, or others can maintain altitude on one engine, and if so, how high?
