Hi Rudeboy,

Thanks for the 'good vibe'

I already thought about playing with the position of the rubbers. They are already very soft (45-shore), but I know that Tony-Clark has got a G62 on only 4 rubbers, so it must be strong enough.

My first priority is to get the engine reliable , as you can read in a previous post, i have some unexplanable shut-off of the engine.

I also want to position the rubbers in such a way that the rotation will be more circular. With the current layout of the rubbers the engine is very 'hard' in horizontal way, but a lot softer in the vertical direction. Therefore the shock absorbers are not working in the optimum direction.

The shockabsorbers are of a 1/8 off road car. For the price of the tony-clark shock absorbers ($ 45 each) you can replace these shockabsorbers 2 times a year for 5 years in a row..... But the tony-clark ones are real good, so maybe, if I'm really happy with the way the softmount works I will upgrade to these 'install-andforget' shock absorbers.

The tony-clark ones are now in use for 3 years on a F3A plane, (see image) with a 'hydro-mount' on a OS-160. I siply copied this concept.

I will let you know when/if changes of rubbers positions made a difference.
