Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Engine
mounts
The S-beam mount only supports the front of
the
engine. The rear engine support is provided by a adjustable
strut
that runs from "someplace" on the back of the engine to
"someplace" on
the firewall.
Hi
Jerry,
Can you post a picture
that shows an example or two of an "adjustable strut". As pictured,
it looks like there would still be quite a bit of weight on the rear of the
engine, so the strut can't just be a trivial piece. Goodness knows that
if this evolved on the other list, it's been engineered way beyond my
tolerance, but I just can't quite picture what you have in mind for the rear
support.
Doesn't Atkins also
use a beam system like this? I seem to recall that he used to sell
the beams, but you were on your own to make the mount. Could be wrong
about that.
Cheers,

fixed, no more raining in the hanger)
Hi, Rusty....I am a little late in catching up on reading
e-mails. I also recall seeing Dave Atkins having a beam style mount for
the 13b. There was also a picture of some type of curved wrap-around
mounts that I was unable to figure out how they were attached to the
engine. Unfortunately, their new website does not show these items. Yes,
it appears that you still had to make your own mount to attach from your
firewall to the mounts he sells. Paul Conner
