[NSRCA-discussion] Icepoint

[Ed Alt]

I did this on an Icepoint that I briefly owned.  There's an RCU thread somewhere in the Pattern topic area.

  Hyde ARIA - the type with the integrated nose ring. I don't actually own an Icepoint, I've just flown a few that other people have. I think you have to do some mods to make the Hyde mount work. I seem to remember the original Icepoint setup was hardwood or plywood rails in the engine compartment for a hard mount scheme. The Hyde mount is much better. I'm sure someone else on the list can give us some details on how to put one of these in an Icepoint...

          Hi John,

          What engine mount you used for OS160 on icepoint?
          Is the rail type floting mount?  Or you just hard mount it?
          Thanks very much

            Bob,
             I've flown a few Icepoints with the OS 160 - great setup for that airplane even though they don't come in a rear-exhaust version. That's easily fixed with a wraparound header. Karl Mueller will makeone for you, Just tell him which airplane and engine you have. Here's his Email address:

            There's an aluminum pipe somewhere that is a copy of the MACS 1092 that I've used - works great and it's very inexpensive. Unfortunately I can't remember where I bought mine from - it was a while ago. The MACS aluminum pipe is good too and they last forever. Carbon pipes are a little fragile and they're more expensive but thay are very light. I'm using Aeroslave (carbon) pipes now and haven't had any problems with any of the second generation ones. Good luck with the new airplane!

              I recently picked up a slightly, damaged in shipment, "Icepoint" from a friend that made periodic trips to China.  The airplane is brand new and the damage was minor, but the covering on the fuse was unbonded and I had to strip the whole thing.  That's done, and now I'm getting ready to recover...no problem.

              I'd like to put either a O.S. 140 or O.S. 160 on this airplane.  Any comments?

              Also, I notice that the O.S. 140 comes in a rear exhaust version, and a header and pipe is available.  I doesn't appear, however, that the O.S.160 is available as a rear exhaust.  Where would I go to get the necessary header and pipe for the 160?

              Thanks
              bw
