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

[Jay Marshall]

Tom, I think it was Piedmont that had a "how to build article" on their site
last year. It used 3/8 in. neoprene wellnuts, some neoprene washers and some
tubing to make a very simple, light and inexpensive damping mount. I have
used it on several planes, both 46 and 90 size. The wellnuts are much easier
to mount than blind nuts. If you can't find the info and would like to try
it I'll see if I can dig it up.

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
