Paul, here are two photos of the RV-10A/ 20B engine mount. I will
post more at jerryhey.com in a couple of days. The powder coat is
black texture which turned out nice. If you want any detail shots I
can take them tomorrow before the mount is shipped. Jerry
Take more pictures Jerry. Can't have too many.
This asymmetrical motor mount is really looking good.

I don't like the looks of that rear mount. The metal isn't that thick and
those welds are going to get a workout.
Steve
Not to worry Steve the engine/PSRU/Prop CG is directly over the front beam.
All prop torque is taken by the front beam and motor mounts.
It is designed for six G's which is far higher than what the RV10 is
designed for. The rear loads are plus or minus 50 pounds depending
on the exact thrust level.
