Turbine Engine Mount
 
Need some help locating an engine mount for my JG100 eagle. I would like to get one of the jet tech style engine mounts. I have contacted Gary Mueller to see if he still sells them and I have contacted Todd at Dreamworks to see if the merlin engine mount will work. If anyone knows of another source please let me know or if you have one that you want to get rid of just shoot me an email or a pm.

My motor is 111mm or 4.37 inches in diameter.


Thanks in advance.

Patrick.

I have used jetcat mounts on many different engines. If jetcat's screws don't work, you can put a 4-40 of any length and associated washers and lock nuts and it works fine, I've done it on my kingcat using a jetcat P-120 mount on a merlin which is about a half inch larger can. Held up just fine to all the punishing I could give it.

The 4-40's clamp the mount to the engine.

Patrick,


I have two of the Artes Rhinos but I also have their Super Eagle in my Skymaster F-5.I have a Ram1000 heavy duty (twin brace style) engine mount that I used with my Super Eagle and it worked great by simply adding longer bolts

Your gonna love your Super Eagle ,I ran mine last week-works perfect just like the Rhino!!Everyone at my field was in awe at how awesome the Rhino ran in my new Kingcat last weekend.What a great engine it is,and the spool up time-nothing like we have ever seen-idle to full power in merely 1 second as the reports claim.We also tested the thrust last weekend and the Rhino in my Kingcat is putting out 35 LBS @ only 117,000!!We are gonna turn it up this weekend to the full 120,000 and we suspect we'll see every bit of 37-38 LBS!! [:DSure is a loudd booger tho,its' got that high pitch tone much like a Merlin has

My other Rhino(NIB) will be going in a JMP Firebird next year depending on my builders schedule;)


Best regards & Merry Xmas!!

I just re-read your post & realized that it looks like you have the original eagle and not the new 120 Super Eagle??In that case there may be a difference in case size,I dont know .Mine is the new 120 Super Eagle

And I also noticed now that your looking for the specific Jet-Tech style.Sorry just woke up here so scattered brained at the moment-needdddd more Caffeine :D
