engine pictures.

Nice work on the motor plate.

The front motor mounts are going along for a ride :)
The rear motor mounts are taking 90% of the load.
That is because the CG of engine,GB and prop combo is just
about inline with the rear motor mounts.

You only need three.  "A structure will be statically indeterminate
whenever it is held by more supports than are required to maintain
its equilibrium."


In mechanical engineering it is called redundant constraint. Google it :)

The front rubber bushing can be real small as the load on it is near zero.

Please try just attaching those pictures to your email Frank.
Don't ship them off to some web site.
Many emails add's do not accept zip files.
