RE: UMS Evolution Radial Care and Operation
Dambo, You are wise to run the engine first on a test stand. You will learn much doing this. Please read your manual carefully! Now about mounting... Do not use standoffs because you will be standoffing with standoffs! I know sounds silly but it is not recommended due to torsional effect. Look at how I did my corsair. My mount starts with 1/4 ply shaped like the engine mount base with cherry standoffs that are the same shape as the mount and ply base. Now you will need to use the outer holes on the bottom of the mount but the INNER hole on the top of the mount and the bolt will need to be reversed with the socket head from the back of the firewall forward. That way you will not need to make massive modifications to your firewall! Check out my pictures of my corsair earlier in the thread. Don't those BH corsairs fly ridiculously great!? -Tom
