Paul,
Have you done a drawing for a RV-10 Motor Mount before?  I just
returned from the EAA SportAir TIG Welding class in Griffin, GA this
weekend and have been doing a lot of practicing on my Lincoln Invertec
V205-T AC/DC tig welder in preparation for building a mount to couple
my 20B to the RV-10. I have Jeff's adapter plate and will be using
Tracy's RD1-C.

Don

Yes here is a 3 rotor version using the schertz beam.
I'll redo if for Jeff's motor plate shortly.

Thanks Paul !

Don Mitchell

Here is what it looks like.

Delete all of those old jpgs. Reset!

I have found a way to simplify the mount and remove
a few tubes of those tubes.

Here are the new 3D's.

Replace them with these.

Here is what the cowling could look like.
There is tons of room in there for a large
rad.

Paul Lamar

Yeah, that looks great!!!  Can you tell how much room there will be
over the top of the engine?  That always been my concern......having
room to cross over with the intake manifold.

Don Mitchell

Hard to say without a stock RV10 cowl dwg.
It is going to be tight as the thrust lines is only 10 inches
down from the top of the cowl. You will need a low
profile water pump.

If you have the stock cowl set it up in the corner of a room
and make some measurements of the side view on the cowl
center line and send them to me. Same for the width
measurements. Try to do it every 10 inches along the length
and I can reproduce the cowl dwg in 3D.

Another way is use a long lens
on a digital camera perpendicular to the top and perpendicular
to the side.

Here is a 3D guess side view.

Paul,
Those drawings are great !   I wish I could figure out how to do
that!!!   Can you send detailed drawings of the mount with dimensions
of the individual tubes ?   How must clearance is safe between the
exhaust header and the mount tube?

Don

I am not sure I have it right. Do you have a RV10 cowl?
