Hey all,

Just a quick question for those who have the MK style soft mount, I have one installed in my ship on my MVVS 160.

I can't fit a nosering on this aircraft but I have noticed after about 5 flights the engine appears to be visibly moving downwards and to the right, and it's not the engine's pulses, when the engine is shut off the spinner stays in the same spot.

Have I set this up wrongly or is there some secret to getting these to work effectively, without a nosering, As the ingition hall effect sensor negates any chance of ever fitting one.

Please help.

You need the nose ring when using the MK soft mount. Why you can not fit the nose ring? If you can't get the Hyde mount that is specifically design to be used without nose ring.

Regards,

VB

There is a hall effect sensor fitted to the side of the the crankcase to tell the spark when to spark.

a lot like this


I don't want to fit a nose ring as I'm worried that I will either break the hall effect sensor if I have the ring too close to it when the engine power pulses or, the gap left in the nose ring to allow free rotating of the engine and hall effect sensor will negate even having the nose ring there, i.e. instead of an O shape it will be a D shape and therfore useless at keeping the engine in line.

Well, I think we can forget this thread, I spent last night trying to find a way of fitting a nose ring, when I noticed that one of the beams was cracked and the other severely bent. I had a belly landing in the outfield a few weeks ago and it cracked the cowl, and must have cracked the mount without me knowing.

A new set of beams and she's ready to go again.
