Default eagle engine mount.

i have an eagle i recently built... what size is yours? did you install the break away plate mounting rails? I believe the mount will be set at 0 degrees so you will have to put some spacers to give it the down and right thrust.

washers is what i see on most instructions. Is there a reason you don't want to use the stock mount?

OH!
Well it's really easy to fabricate. Let me know if you don't have the plans and i can send you a copy of that part or the specs if you need them. It will be a lot easier in the end than trying to adapt the engine mount. But if you really want to use the engine mount, then washers will do the trick.

ok, i will bring it to work tomorrow and scan the break away plate with the dimensions and i can email it to you. Or if you want me to mail you a hard copy let me know. If you want to full plans, i will have to find out where they can make copies of them?
