Default RE: End Grain Balsa Engine Standoff - Making progress
Hi Terry,

I'dlove to take credit for it, but Ireadabouta guy that did it with a DA-85 single and a DA-150 twin. If it will work on those,speciallythe single, it should have an easy life under my motor.

For firewalls,about 10 years ago, I hung a Quadra 100 off a 1/4 inch thick end grain balsa carbon fiberlaminate. Put over two hundred flights on it with nomaintenanceat all. If Iremember correctly, it weighed less than quarter the weight of theoriginalpart.We also used it for landing gear plates.

Balsa is some pretty amazing stuff.
