RE: ZDZ 40 RE F3A Soft Mount
Matt,
Glad to see you doing the experimentation on the nose ring. As I have told you I have this motor in a Symphony and a Hyde mount made by Merle for this engine. He says it is constructed so as to not need a nose ring. One of the problems after I took delivery was that the mixture control screws ended up inside the mount, so I had to use short standoffs to get access. Some day if work allows I will get the chance to run the engine in the airframe and maybe even fly it. This will be the true judge of the need for a nose ring.
