Hi Perry,

Could you please send me the CADD file? Thanks.

Are you changing from the mount you had before? Are you staying 
with the ducted fan approach?

I've build a mock-up firewall that will be the basis for welding up
the new mount.  It will also become an engine test stand so I can
test things before installing them in the plane.  I plan to install
this new engine mount this winter, because I'm getting some vibration
still.  But along with the new mount I also need new intake system
so it will be a major job.  The dynamic balance guy is coming this
afternoon to see if we can improve the balance any more.  Plan to
stay with the ducted fan, at least for the next couple years.

Send away Perry.

The file is attached.  I was able to read it in with a different
program than I exported it from, a good sign with DXF.

BTW Perry may be out of town for a few days as I think he is
planing on flying his airplane up to Arlington sometime soon.

I flew a dry-run flight to Arlington a week ago Sunday, the weather
was perfectly clear and hot.  But the last few days the weather has
been marginal.  Long periods of mostly overcast, and I think the
weather is worse up north.  But it's supposed to improve, planning
to fly up the morning of the 5th.
