In this thread, I will be posting progress on the soft mount I am building for this engine. It may be of some interest to some Pattern folks who might have an interest in this engine. It is a bit heavy by Pattern standards but I am estimating that I can build my new design under the weight limit. Regardless, the new design is fairly large by current standards so it will be able to absorb the extra weight with no effort

The first photo shows the loosely assembled set of cross grained balsa rings that will form the spacer section of the mount. Not glued yet
The second photo shows the individual rings with a ruler for scale and the third, the spacer plus the front and back 1/8" aircraft ply discs
