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.
I used 1/8 inch thick carbon fiber plating.
How many people have i trained? Well your guess is as good as mine.
Ihave been training people sense i was 18 Iam now 42. Do your
math and you will know i have lost count. If you can count how many
people you have trained than you havent trained to many.
Now before you ask. No I dont train with the rascal(and i wouldnt).
I use my LT-40 For that now. When i first started training i used
the areostar 40 and the sig mark 4. Now that should tell you something.
