Jerry won't specifically say this, but if you want a high-quality mount ata very reasonable price you should look at his mounts.<br><br> --www.buddengineering.com--<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/9/06,

Thanks Jerry. I'm looking for inexpensive alternatives for a friend getting<br>into Pattern and the C mount sounded like it could do the trick. I think I<br>will try to guide him to an A type (it's going in a FOCUS II).

<br>> last weekend) but I'm sure they will be soon. They're shown on<br>> Central Hobbies back cover ad in the latest K-Factor at around $60.<br>> The ad states the mounts have several of the features my mounts do
<br>> such as standardized mounting dimensions, pre-drilled motor<br>> attachment holes, replaceable aluminum mounting rails, and a light<br>> weight of around 3 oz (for the version that requires a nose ring, the
<br>> non-nose ring version weighs somewhat more).<br>><br>> Isn't it amazing what a little bit of competition will do to the market?<br>> :-)<br>><br>> Anyway, what I'd be careful about is that the ad only claims a 35%
<br>> reduction in transmitted vibration (it's unclear what the reference<br>> point is, one can only assume compared to a hard mounted motor).<br>> Anyway, that's not very good, and in some cases it could excite a
<br>> structural resonance frequency of the airframe and actually amplify<br>> the transmitted vibration. I don't think in most cases it will, but<br>> as the stiffness of a soft mount approaches that of a rigid mount,
<br>> the question becomes, " what is the point of using a soft mount if it<br>> doesn't filter out the unwanted vibration?".<br>><br>> There's some other claims in the ad that IMHO I don't think are
<br>> accurate (or defendable), but that's a topic of discussion for<br>> another time, and maybe a different forum.<br>><br>> FWIW - For those who have been very patiently waiting, I'm in the<br>> process of procuring some prototypes of the nose ring support for my
<br>> soft motor mounts for proof testing. I'd like to think I'll have<br>> them available within a month or two but I won't know for sure until<br>> the testing is completed (hopefully soon - this has taken way too
<br>> long!).<br>><br>> Thx, Jerry<br>><br>><br>>>I apologize if this is repeat topic, but someone mentioned recently<br>>>that Hyde had a new, cheaper, non-nose ring mount (type C?).<br>>>Someting like $70 at Central? I don't see it on their website
<br>>>though. Do I have this right?<br>>><br>>>Thanks<br>>>Ed<br>><br>> --<br>> ___________<br>> Jerry Budd<br>> Budd Engineering<br>> (661) 722-5669 Voice/Fax<br>> (661) 435-0358 Cell Phone
