[NSRCA-discussion] Hyde mounts + nose rings

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

For those so inclined, I've written about this before and it's worth 
repeating. If you have some building skill, you can easily make your 
own Hyde style mounts. It's super simple. The toughest part (easy) is 
getting a nice hole cutter bit for your drill press. I use a simple 
outrigger bit that is adjustable so I can cut various sizes as needed. 
I described the techniques I use (based on Pastorello's Pasto mounts) a 
few years ago in the KFactro

The weight savings are real also. The typical pattern size mount comes 
in at about 2 1/2 ozs which includes the engine bearers (maple)

I recently built a soft mount for a ZDZ 40 cc engine which works just 
great, as all the Hyde style mounts do. Weight for that large mount is 
just over 3 ozs without the stand offs. All up including the stand 
offs, it's a scant over 4 ozs.....that's for a 40 cc, 2.7 lb ignition 
engine.

But if you must buy the expensive units just because you have money to 
burn, good for you....I'm envious. I don't so I do!!! (BG)

The difference is about 1.5- 2 ounces lighter
depending on the specific mount and plane. on some of the more 
interesting Hyde
mounts, it can be as much as 4 ounces lighter.

   Has anyone done a weight comparison between a Hyde mount with 
integrated
  nose ring vs. the type that requires a separate nose ring? I know the
   mount that requires a separate nose ring is lighter, but by the time 
you're
   finished adding the structure to support the nose ring and then 
installing one
   of those nose ring brackets, how much weight do you really save? I've 
been
   using the mounts with integrated nose rings but I'm getting ready to 
build a
  new airplane so if there's a significant weight advantage, I might be
  interested in trying a different mount this time.
