Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Pletty 30-10 advance installation ???

 

 

I was THRILLED to finally take delivery of my Pletty 30-10 Advance. Now that
I have it in my hot little hands I need to get it installed in the airplane.
That is proving much more difficult than I anticipated!

 

Here are the issues:

1. It needs to be nose ring mounted via 6 bolts in the front as there are no
allowances for back plate mounting.

2. I bought the F3A Unlimited motor mount for it, but the mounting tabs are
wider than the front of the airplane so it will not fit flush at the nose
ring. A flush mount actually puts the tabs wider than the nose ring and into
the cheek cowls.

3. The output shaft has a short useful length with a machined flange. so
using any kind of rubber spacers behind the nose ring will be a problem
unless they are very short. If I was to find short rubber spacers there
would still be a width problem as there is no flush surface inside the nose
ring to mount them to.

4. Probably the biggest problem of all, I have to be able to adjust the
motor thrust line for down and right thrust as I do NOT believe there is any
built into the front of the plane.

 

If anyone has any pictures of their Pletty 30-10 Advance installation or any
techniques to do it accurately and just as important LIGHT please let me
know.

 

Plane is a Sickle V2 if that helps.

 

Thanks in advance and happy mother's day!

 

Anthony
