Bob in the future please don't send .doc files. that file was 3 meg.
Fills up my hard disk and takes too much time to download as I am still
on dial up. Print the text to a files as plain ASCII text and export
or screen capture the picture to Paint and save as jpg. I have to do
that on this end so it is a lot more work for me.

I was unable to load the picture anyway.  As far as I can tell MS Word
stupidly converted a 60K jpg to a 3 meg .doc file :) I can guess what
you have in mind however.

No reason why that won't work and it is very similar or nearly identical
to the way it is done in the Questair Venture. Two tabs welded
on the aluminum pan are much cheaper and quite simple as in these photos.
They are perfectly adequate for the 50 to 75 pound static load and
450 pound 6 G hard landing load.

BTW Ed this is where I want my tabs.

Bob have another go at this. Take my picture, load it into MS Paint,
make the modifications, save it as a jpg and attach it to your message.

BTW here is a picture of the Questair Venture bracket.
The Questair designer took this one step further and mounted the nose
gear on this bracket as well as the engine. Unfortunately since the engine
was rubber mounted the nose gear was also rubber mounted. Consequently it
moved around with unintended steering inputs. This led to several landing accidents.

Paul,

No need for further tinkering with your jpeg-- the Questaire bracket was exactly what I had in mind, except for the added attach points and reinforcement underneath.
