 Hi Paul,   The rotary and the Tailwind fuselage are now one.
 Enclosed are  a couple of photos to show the clearance over the top
 of the engine using a 12" spinner and also the rear motor mount.  The
 rear mm is made from scrap mild steel 2" x 1/8" angle.  A  1/4" thick
 aluminum  version may follow eventually. The rear of the engine can
 be adjusted up or down by adding spacers under the rubber bushings.
 I plan to  brace the horizontal 7/8" x .049 tube where the rear mm
 attaches.

 I have removed the 2024T3 pan/motor mount plate.   I believe the
 aluminum was originally purchased for around $190.00 from ACS.   It
 is a perfect fit.   Since it has had several different motor mounts
 configurations attached, there are a few extra 1/4" holes down the
 sides.  If someone wants this, it is free.

What do you think Jerry? Does it look strong enough to fly?

I think this engine mount is the most direct solution to the problem
there can be.  I consider it unbreakable unless I run into a rock.
I have built  around twenty engine mounts for  lycoming, continental,
rover and Mazda (two different designs) and with this one I feel we
finally got it right.   Jerry
