Hamman,

Good point about the 'leverage' on the standoffs during a crash. If, and when I crash (and I will crash at some point) .... I hope my screws pull through the firewall... LOL!!!! I don't think the mounts ears will take much leverage before they break....

One thing about the accident Boss is reporting.... We don't know several things about the setup... Was the prop balanced? Was the engine properly tuned... etc... I feel bad for the guy that got injuried. I have had 3 trips to the ER, and every time it was my fault entirely. Over 100 stitches over a 3 year period...
