the motor is propped up approx. 1/16to1/8 of an inch you dont have to use washers a suitable piece of ply or something willdo the job. dont forget to use slightly longer screws to compensate

Roo mount
 

David,

A good starting place is to raise the back of the mount 1/16". Those dimensions are the ID and OD of the washer and do not relate to how thick they are.

Engine Shim
 

Almost three years ago at Superman, Andreas told me to put a 2MM shim under the back of the motor to eliminate the pitch down at rapid throttle up from slow flight, such as in a go around. I had a piece of aluminum which appeared to be about 1/16th inch thick, which I cut 1/2 in. wide and long enough to go across the width of the engine mount pylon. I drilled the appropriate hole for the rear mounting screw, and flew both my Kangaroos like that. It eliminated almost all the nose down pitching associated with throttle up.
