Creative Nose Ring Mounting?

[Wayne Galligan]

Mike,

You gotta understand how Bobs mind works.  He is what we would call the McGiver of the model business.  and this can be done as I have done it on a Cap I had put a 2 stroke in.  If there is room it can be done with 4 longerons and shear webbing to a nose ring mount.  E-mail me off list for a photo.

   Bob wouldn't itbe easier to obtain an Hyde ARI mount? Yes it's expensive but if it works it's worth it in my opinion. Mike

    What I did a while back was to drill the firewall corners and install 3/16" carbon tubing, similar to a Hanson arrangement. The tubing essentially formed the four legs of chair, extending forward and coming together into a seat. The seat of the chair formed the nose ring. The nose ring was made from rubber sheet. Worked well enough but wasn't easily removable. 

    Eventually I opted to remove all that and mount the cowling permanently instead. I opted for a hatch on the bottom of the cowling for engine access and that assembly worked better and was lighter. Good l,uck Bob

      Hoping there's someone out here with a creative solution to a pesky problem.... on my own rotational mount, with the OS 1.60, I think I need to install a nose ring....Arresti is a "cowling" nose, so can't go there....don't want to replace cowling with built up wooden assy.
          Any ideas for making some kind of tripod/post affair that would attach to the firewall ( I have area of firewall around the mount that is accessible on all sides) to mount the nose ring to???

      Any ideas or solutions would be much appreciated!
