Icepoint Mount Mod

[Bill Glaze]

Bob: 
I see the problem with the Icepoint.  Can sure be frustrating.  I've 
also been wondering: 
I just got a new Jerry Budd engine mount.  Excellent job, well thought 
out.  Jerry, however, calls for a nose ring with the mount.  How are the 
guys handling a nose ring with a removable cowling, like the Focus?  
Seems to me as if the cowl would tear loose from the fuselage if 
subjected to the stress/vibration of a nose ring.   I've had perfect 
satisfaction from a Dave Brown solid mount, (cost the princely sum of 
$6) on my focus 1, but I've still been thinking of retrofitting my Focus 
2 before it's first flight.
How would you handle it?
