    Doc,  I can build a S-Beam rotary engine mount for just about  any
    aircraft.  For example the last two built were for an Acro Sport and the
    Bush Caddy.  To begin with, I need a drawing showing the hard points on
    the firewall where the engine mount bolt on.  These should be
    related to
    the engine thrust lines vertical and horizontal. In other words the top
    right attachment point is xxx distance above the thrust line and xxx
    distance to the right if the thrust line.  Also needed is the distance
    of the prop flange from the firewall.  This info should be in the RV 9
    plans.  Would you be using the Renesis or the 13B?

      Once you gather this data, send it to me and CC to Paul Lamar who will
    design engine mount.  Paul does not charge for this service.  The
    benefit is a properly engineered engine mount specific to  your
    installation.  Another advantage is that the design will become part of
    an archive that other RV9 builders will be able to use.
    Once you are happy with the design I will quote a
    price.    Regards,  Jerry


Hi Doc-

I see by your area code that you must be close by me and my PPort 13b.
I'm based at Meadow Lakes (00V) -- come by for a visit some time.  Maybe
you can help get mine tuned up, now that I have it running.

BTW - 2nd run was Monday afternoon.  I took it up to 3600 rpm for 10
minutes.  Still chasing leaks & also troubleshooting an egt sensor which
is claiming a 400F difference between rotor 1 and rotor 2.

Hi Mark,

I was just through COS yesterday! Too bad I didn't know then what I know
now. Would have called and come by if it was convenient for you.

I would love to see your engine, etc.

Saturday the Westcliffe chapter of the EAA -1422- is supporting the
airport's open house (C08). If you can, come by.
We will be doing the Young Eagles thing. We need pilots and planes. We had
two signed up, but one came down with a mechanical problem, so we are really
short! Lots of kids signed up. Last time we did this we flew 19 kids using 6
planes. I sure hope we don't disappoint any kids. The open house starts at 7
AM and will run past noon.

When would be a good time to come by your place? You can contact me at one
of the below.
