Paul:  I have really enjoyed your site.  There is a ton of good info here.  I am building a Vision
with a rotary engine, 13b.  Looking very hard at your engine mount arrangement.  What an elegant
setup.  If I could asks a couple of questions.

Is the only hard point on the engine support at the mating plate between the engine and PSRU?  No
support at the front cover of the engine next to the firewall?

Not enough to cantilever the engine off the front cover.
Fine for a front motor mount as long as the majority of
the load is taken by the two main mounts.

I noted that you are using the "Real Solutions" PSRU as I plan to.  Did you remake the mating
flange or ask Tracy to provide with your gear housing?

Thanks.  Wesley Vision #0206

Jerry Hey is making motor-plate/engine-mounts it will take me a 
couple of more years to convince Tracy that this is the best 
way to go :-)
