randy41,

Hey not trying to start WWIII. In a stock Rascal the motor is mounted to the strap with bolts. The strap mounts to a wood beam, the center of which is has been milled to provide clearance for the motor mounting bolts. So I ask you - how did you mount the engine without using the supplied straps? These straps are not like Hanger 9's which mount over the motors mounting lugs, and are use instead of bolts.

By the way, my brother-in-law loves flying the Rascal as a trainer. How many people have you trained.

Just my opinion.
