Thanks Charlie, That might work. I'll get back to you. Bryan I assume Ed can straighten out that leg. -----Original Message----- From: Rotary motors in aircraft [mailto:flyrotary@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of Charlie England Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 10:09 PM To: Rotary motors in aircraft Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Dimensional help needed Hi Brian, If you're interested, I've got a -6/-7/-9 dynafocal mount & gear legs from a flying RV-6 that I won't be needing. One leg has a slight bend, it can easily straightened in a press. I bought them intending to use them for my mount & keep the ones from the kit as my fallback plan, but decided to just use the kit pieces since I'd already fit everything to the plane. How does $500 plus shipping sound? (Just trying to recover some of my investment.) If I make it to KY & they will fit in the plane, I'll deliver them there if you wish.

But, he is apparently able to use Van's mount. Did he charge more for this approach as opposed to his preferred way? I guess shipping is more costly. I guess I need to run it by him again. I haven't bought any mount, but I really don't want to drill my legs.

After having been ripped off by Fred Breeze (Conversion Concepts) I ordered an engine mount and matching gear legs from Vans and had Ed Klepis convert it. I had bought a pair from Harman Lang several years ago to be match drill to the CC mount, but after spending the money and not getting the mount I sold them to someone in Texas can't now remember. The only advice that I can relay is that of a machinist friend. Use a good sharp centering punch and good luck if you don't have a good drill press to mount the gear leg in. Wish I could help more.

SO you can add or subtract a 16 th. I got 4" 15/16. Ed Klepis probably has that figure in his notebook. Let me know what other numbers you come up with.
