Default RE: Engine Mount

Thanks DaRock,

That was my thoughts as well, and that’s what I'm going to do. I will make the motor brace mount out of whatever, and drill the holes for that in the ply and nylon nuts on the bottom. This way I can mount an engine, and just tighten it down, I might even put a thin piece of metal\alum on the top piece of ply so that the motor does not indent the ply when I tight it down with the mount. I'd show a pic of the other engine mount, but it's all assembled and I'd have to pull the motor to take the pic. I will have to do this anyway in a few days as I want that engine in this new plane, I'll shoot a pic and post that when I pull it.

Jim, It's been over 16yrs, but I'm not planning on crashing, but then again who does? lol ... Greg
