   Rick, Consider asking  ask Paul to design a  lightweight, S-beam
   mount for your 20B Cozy.   After  you see the design you can decide
   if it is something you want to go ahead with.  I predict you will
   like it a lot.     Regards,  Jerry


   I'll need the dims on the firewall hard points
   or a picture of the firewall with a yard stick
   taped to it.

   -----------------------------------------

   What have you decide to do Rick? I have a bit of time
   right at the moment. Here is one of my mount designs flying
   on a turbo charged Cozy. I no longer recommend this type of
   mount as it requires a motor plate and is more complicated
   to build properly.

   The last three 3Ds are better and simpler. The neat thing
   about a canard pusher you can brace the mount laterally
   over to one side or the other or both. That totally frees up
   the bottom of the engine for the cooling system.

   Sir Paul

   The 20b engine I thought I got turned out to be a fraudulent ebay deal.
   Funny thing the guy originally was listed to be from Texas, one of his
   pictures of the engine showed a truck in the background with the license
   plate information whited out.  A little suspicious.  I won the bid at
   $2810.  Thought I was real smart finding a 20b for that price when they
   typically go for $3500 to $4200.  The guy does not respond for a few
   days on how I can get it delivered to me.  Then finally he sends me an
   email and says he's in London at one of his businesses.  Broken English
   and all.  And, he happened to have the engine with him.  He said he
   would pay the shipping.  He wanted a third party TNT (like our UPS) to
   ship it and he said they would hold my wired funds till I received it
   then that company would pay him.  That all sounded almost too good to be
   true.  I then did a dogpile seach on "Fraud TNT Ebay" and up pops up a
   warning from TNT that people are using TNT to fraud on payment of funds.
   Using fake account numbers and locations to pay.

   Sooooo  I don't have my engine yet. :(   I will wait till I find the
   right engine then I may want some help with a Cozy MKIV mount.  Will
   gladly pay.

   Thanks for asking.

ebay fraud,

is it just me, or does there seem to be a huge bounty of e-bay and other
fraud lately?  You can look for almost any expensive item you want on
e-bay now a days, and there will be several items for sale that are
obviously fraud... others that are questionable.  It didn't used to be
like that.

Also, both the last month we have had someone obtain our CC number and
try to ship goods to Holland, and someone else applied for a CC in my
name with my SSN.

In both cases the CC card companies caught the fraud before any damage
done. But it is a little scary.

Its like it is so prevalent these days that no one can even bother to
track these guys down....

Auctions are intrinsically prone to fraud because of shills.
Moller has come up with a new angle on misusing e-bay and that
is free publicity.

Nobody else pays attention to him anymore.

BTW how come they let you go early? I am not complaining :)
I am just curious.
