Status: offline 		It is supposed to be identical only the metal color is different. Can you post pics. It doesn't really matter if you don't get 4 3/4 in from the firewall to thrust washer.

ORIGINAL: MustangAce

last but not least. Notice the contact of carb bolt with mount bolt at firewall (vibration damage if mounted this way) Also this goes against recommendations of "not more than 4 3/4 in from firewall to thrust washer" (for cowling spacing) Like this it would be at 5 3/16 in.



I've had the same issue on other planes in the past - my workaround is for that one bolt head, I take a drillbit slightly larger in diameter than the head of the bolt and set the depth on my drill press so that I countersink the head of the bolt down flush with the motormount.

Status: offline 		After looking around, I decided to get the Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle. Hobby-Lobby honored their price guarantee, and sold me one for well under any advertised price I could find.

Opening the box, after the three day Fed Ex delivery time was a true pleasure. The Fliton looks great!

Status: offline 		good luck with the fliton. had one till the cf wing tube snapped in a slow wall. I've heard other people have problems with the wing tube also. I contacted fliton 3 months ago and was told to take some pics and send it in with a copy of the receipt. well several months later and several emails later still no word from fliton. plane flew well but had a lot to do when it came to build time. instructions very vague also. I've built several planes so it wasn't a problem, but for someone new they might. reminded me of my shocky's instructions.

Status: offline 		Yes, the directions are less than stellar. Many ARFs now come with similar directions. I can ARF with the best of them, so I don't forsee any problems.

H9 and GP are tops for directions.

I'll take a look at the carbon rod again. It did hit me as a bit thin. Maybe it's worth looking around cyberspace for a replacement, to avoid destroying the plane.

I also got an MK bellcrank, as I can't stand wooden dowel split "Y" elevator rods. I'll do a carbon rod to the bellcrank.

Status: offline 		Ok guys we finally got this one figured out. All you have to do is flip the mount over so that the webing is opposite the motor and everything will clear. If you have any questions on this please ask. Also I want to thank all of you for being so patiente wi'll we figuered all of this out.

Thanks,
Mark

Status: offline 		Well guys with a little work my edge will be making its maiden voyage tomarrow. Mark i fixed my mount a little different than you suggested. If you flip the mount over it looks like you will throw off the thrust line. I may be wrong. I just took my dremmel and cut the mount down about 1/8 inch and it works like a charm. Hopefully i can get some video also.
