A couple of weeks ago there was a posting about using
1 x 2 4130 for a front shertz beam motor mount and if
it would be strong enough without bracing to the

fill me in.  Thanks Jim Coffman

Jim, Bill and anybody using the Schertz beam I suggest adding these clips 
to take the gyroscopic kick loads from the prop.
Thanks to Chrissi for bringing this issue up.
