New to the website...this seems as good a place as any to tell my
story....I am in the process of building an rv4 and am putting a 13b on
the plane....I have 2 problems...one is that i ordered a engine mount
from CCI and have been waiting for the mount for almost a year...there
is a promise of delivery on the 20th of this month....but i still have
to look at an alternative...secondly....i have a real interest in p
porting and the stuff that goes with it...please provide me with some
info and availability of parts and some ideas for an alternative engine
mount if fred brees does not follow thru with the one i have
ordered...any help is appreciated....thx,todd
