Dale,

Please post pictures of your mount or send them to me directly. I am also considering plugs up on my Acroduster Too mostly to help with inverted flight and oil, but also because a high thrust line is preferred on the plane.

Do you see any negatives with the installation other than not being able to use Jerry Hey's S-Beam Mount?

Do you know if plugs up will work with George's (down under) bell housing?

Thanks!

Ben

Thanks Ed,

   If all it was *ever* going to be was just a test stand, I'd agree
about the precision.  The test stand is as accurate a model of the
COZY firewall, dimensionally, as I can make it (same template).  If
this works out well, then I'll be duplicating the mount for the real
thing - except I'll send that one out to be welded by a certified
welder.  If it doesn't, then I hope CCI gets caught up on the
backlog before next fall (2007).

BTW, most of my ideas for implementing "plugs-up" came from
the photos of your installation.
