HUGE SNIP>>>

Guys... gotta get my 2 cents worth in here....

I found that on my gyroplane installation, the remote assembly vibratedloose when attached to the engine or it's direct attachments....  yet when I
attached it to the frame (the firewall or engine mount) the system workedfabulously.

The small vibrations of the engine, redrive, and prop should not be
overlooked as a failure point contribution system when attaching hoses with
pseudo lever arms to these threaded attachments.

Mounting the remote filter system past the rubber bushing engine mounts will
provide a pound of prevention!!    and oh.. btw.. the same is true for
ignition coils as well!

Ok, my 2 cents worth... we now return to your regularly scheduled
transmissions!

Thanks for all the great feedback.  Here's another question:  the
Renesis oil filter is tiny.  If I am remote mounting, the oil filter
could be anything.  Is there any benefit to going with a different oil
filter than the one Mazda has specified for this engine?  (I see the
big Fram on this pic).

BTW Scott, are you going to be working on the airplane tomorrow?
I am in Daytona with some time to spare tomorrow.
