Just a few parts made at the shop.

Excellent work.  You can obviously handle the job.   The problem with
hanging rotary engines in all types of aircraft is that a single
immutable fixture will not suffice.  You need a fixture that can deal
with different thrust lines, different thrust off sets and different
ways of attaching the engine mount to the firewall.  I've come up with
something that works but maybe you can build on my efforts to create
an even better design.  Are you interested?

I'll support you Scott. There are people out there that don't
want to build their own. Jerry has gone through a lot of jigs and
motor
mounts in the last 11 years that I have known him. We have gone down
a lot of roads that we had to make a U turn on. :) The attached
jpgs are a brief history. Read all of this while you are at it too.

Jerry,    
    I would be interested, with Pauls help/knowledge of what is
required, we can do almost endless set up of one of fire wall jigs,
as long as I know the thrust line angle, and fire wall hole
placements... then we can make that fire wall blank on the CNC laser
bed to pin point accuracy for the bolt placement.  Then adjustable
fixtures for the balance.  I will pick out an example photo for a
super cub look without the mount but with the engine.

Paul if you could send my email address to Jerry and we can take the
little details off the list thread line.

there are some great things that can be done with solid design work,
but we still needs someone like Paul for calculated placement.
