I was organizing some files and I ran across these
pics. This motor mount is in dire need of fixing.
It is dangerous they way it is. If somebody recognizes
these pics please prevail upon this person to fix this motor
mount. The red lines indicate the required missing tubes.
A big problem when installing any auto engine is engineering
The motor mount. With a certified engine it is no problem.
Just copy a Cessna or Piper.
If you are not an experienced structural engineer
it is easy to screw up. I highly recommend making a 1/4 scale
balsa model using 3/16 square sticks and check the stiffness.
You will rapidly discover problems if it is not right.
