I have about 90 hours on my
Super ES now, and the front motor mounts are sagging badly. I started with
the spinner about 3/16" to 1/4" higher than the cowl profile, expecting some
sagging, but the spinner is now about 3/8" low and somewhat to the right side of
the aircraft. Examination of the Barry mounts in the front shows they are
sadly squished. It also looks as if the geometry of the motor mount is not
correct in design, which I seem to recall other comments about in the
past.
Any fixes out there? I
hate to spend $80 each on something that only is going to last 80 or 90
hours. Do the "hi-temp" mounts last any better? A couple of years
ago, seems to me they were around $130 each - - for a couple of rubber
mouldings and a couple of washers!
