Default Engine mount

Anyone happen to have a K&B 45 engine mount? My plane took a spill off the table and broke the mount.

Go to the hobby shop and buy a suitably sized motor mount. It doesn't have to be specifically for a K&B, it just has to fit it.

You may have to relocate the motor mount holes, and install new blind nuts in the firewall. No big deal.

For the k&b the motor mount is built into the back plate. You can see it here on the left hand side towards the middle. http://www.mecoa.com/kb/56/sportster.pdf

But I understand what you are saying. Using these type of mounts instead. http://www.hobbytown.com/Shop/O-S-En...Mount-40/46La/

I was was just hoping someone might have a spare laying around they wouldn't mind parting with so I wouldn't have to go through all that.

You can buy one from the MECOA website online store. They make and sell the K&B engines.

Better call Mecoa before ordering. There's been some members that have had a hard time getting parts from Mecoa.

My best friend was dealing with Mecoa. He finally bit the bullet, sent the engine back and told them to stock it where the sun doesn't shine. He would rather take the loss in $$$, than deal with the engine and the Mecoa reps.
