[NSRCA-discussion] Soft mount for OS .46AX?

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Tom,
 
Another possibility is to make a Hyde type mount yourself from 3/32" aircraft ply, balsa and rubber bicycle innertube. It's very easy to make and would be the lightest and most effective solution for you. The whole thing is put together with ca glue.
 
Contact me off list and I'll walk you through it. A couple years ago I wrote an article on exactly how to do it for the KFactro. Search the archives for it if you care to

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a source for a soft mount small enough to fit an
OS .46AX?  I've seen the DuBro mount, but was hoping for something
lighter.  I replaced a hard mount with one of the old K&B backplate
mounts on my Somethin' Extra and it cured an issue where I was
replacing aileron servos every 20-30 flights - so I'm sold on the
vibration reduction (and no, I'm not going electric..).  Unfortunately
the K&B mounts are no longer made.

Now I want to put together one of the new Great Planes Reactors:

but I really don't want to hard mount the engine.

Thanks!

Tom
