Hi, Paul.....I paid right around $1000.00 for my motor mount which included
wooden crating. Actually, I did not miss the earlier discussions regarding
the Questair Venture.  My problem was that I am not a welder, (nor do I wish
to be), and I was searching for someone who could make a mount for me. Perry
Mick was too busy, Jerry Hey's suggestion of  a mount that welded to my Ross
PSRU was unsatisfactoy...and then Fred stepped up to the plate. offering not
only a suitable mount, but he fulfilled the most important requirement  that
I had.....He would weld it up for me. I would have paid twice that price  if
necessary, just to put the motor mount issue behind me, and get on with the
engine installation and trying to figure out the intake, exhaust, radiator
and oil cooler.  It's finally taking shape. Should fly this year.  Thank you
for the suggestion....I will, and have always inspected my motor mounts
frequently for cracks (I am a former LongEZ owner).
P.S. I sincerely appreciate the enormous effots you have been putting into
all the stumbling blocks we rotary enthusiasts have been coming up against,
such as intake, PSRUs, water pumps, pipe bends, bell mouths, etc.  Thanks to
your efforts, more builders are likely to choose a rotary engine for their
projects. What's a Lycoming?  Paul Conner

Hi Paul,

No I wasn't too busy. It's just that I'm not a professional welder. For
awhile I was thinking of selling the rubber-bushing-in-the-firewall
mount for the Long-EZ, but I would have had a real welder make them. But
I never got around to modifying the plane for that mount, and have since
re-designed a newer mount that uses the stock airframe and engine
mounting points. I've started building that mount but it is not
complete. I don't want to sell something that's not tested.

It looks like Fred does great work, I'm sure if you return it to him he
will add the extra structure and do good for you.

Lycoming - antique rube goldberg contraption - ARG!
