Default RE: BTE Venture 60

Thanks for the help with the mount. My local hobby shop has the Ernst and the Dave Brown mounts, so I'm sure I'll find what I need. I do like the fact that the back of the Dave Brown Mounts can be cut. That may help with the throttle hookup.

The piper pawnee Ihave has the throttle right up against the firewall also. I used a cable with a quick connector on it at the throttle arm, and will probably do the same with the V60 if possible. Icut the cable and tinned the end with solder, and then shaped the end with a grinding wheel in my dremel to get the cable to go into the connector.

I took that Super Tigre out of the box and ran it this weekend. The motor was so tight it wouldn't hardly turn over. I thought Iwould have to run a belt off the spinner to an old furnace motor or drill motor and lap i it in before I could start it. I did run the sullivan starter on it with fuel in it and the gloplug out until it loosened up a little. After I got it started and ran 2 tanks of fuel through it, it was turning over good, and it transitioned from idle on up very well. Now it starts easy and runs great, but it is still tight. I'll run a gallon of fuel through it on the bench and then put it up for another project.
