Creative Nose Ring Mounting?

[Bob Pastorello]

It requires NO creativity, originality, or innovation to buy someone else's solution to things....Since I'm a "no-builder", and barely a "no-flyer", I like to be creative with things, and figure out alternate plan "B"'s whenever possible.
    This is just one of many.

BTW - for those curious - I have THREE of the "motor-mount-rail-mounted Throttle servos" in use.  Lots of flights, on both the JR micro Digital 281, and the Hitec HS-55...they both work VERY well.    
    BUT - you have to be creative to try something like that......<VBG>

    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
