     The yellow parts are left over Van's parts. The rest of Van's
     motor mount is cut away and discarded. The green diagonal tubes
     going down to the nose gear leg socket take most of the download from
     the engine and feed it directly into the landing gear.
     The rear motor mount could be a compression  strut with rubber ball joints
     down to the same point. Not shown.

Looks good Paul,
This is exactly what I was thinking of. I believe this will be a preview of the
RV-10 mount as well. Bill Jepson
