I checked out the DB glass filled mounts. From what I can tell on the spec. sheet, the round type mount will not work. Inside dimension from side to side in the engine cavity is about 2 1/8". At the moment I have the engine mounted to a Sig mount as I mentioned. The beams are 3/8" square and the length of each upright is 1 7/8" supported by the triangular web. Q: Do you guys think that will withstand vibration and torque of engine. I believe these are made for 40 size engines. Back to the drawing board!
I just glued together my first wing skin awhile ago. Also pictured is a view of the foam wing. Also a top mount of the Robart N.G. I am using a 2" on the nose and 2 1/4" for the mains. Hope to get to our private flying field this Thurs. We have a great friend who has 32 acres out in the country with his personal 600 x 50 grass strip. His wife mows it like it was a putting green. She really loves to mow! How cool is that? I will shoot some pics and send them along. Our club strip is asphalt......a real prop-buster if you don't grease the landings. Flying on grass is the only way to fly....from our point of view. I hope to maiden my Big Kaos. I also have an SR Batteries Eindecker I I put together last winter and is chomping on the bit to take to the grass.
