Default RE: Engine mount 'flex'

ORIGINAL: IronZ

I looked it over some more. It's not the firewall or screws coming loose. It's literally movement in the mount itself. I guess I'm going to swap it out. I'll give the aluminum Horizon mount a try and see how that does. I just hate putting more holes in my firewall, haha! For no more than I flew it, the flexing of the mount is bothering me. I guess I'll miss this weekends flying

Thanks for all the input!

<hr />You must have the engine way out towards the end of the mount too get flex. If you got room...cut a block/piece of oak wood and insert it between the arms. Use wood screews through the arms and into the wood. That may stiffen it up. Its wort a try if it can be done. Capt,n
