Default RE: Using A leaf blower Motor

ORIGINAL: planebuilder66

There are many companies making conversions for leaf blower motors and weedwacker engines, or you could take it to a machine shop and ask them to make a prop adapter for you and modify it for you. mounting them is sometimes tough, standoffs are usually hand fabricated to mount them.
yeah i was going to end up forging my own mount i see no other way to do it. there is a plate in the back i am going to take off and cast a new one in plaster-of-paris with a engine mount included. and then poor in a metal. will either use aluminum or nickle. as you all can tell i am still in the planing phase, but i appreciate all the help as i start to build i will post pictures in here
