<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hey guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, once in a while you get into something and
then something REALLY good comes of it. This is one of those times in my
opinion.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just spoke with Merle hyde yesterday, and the
hyde AR80 mounts are available from Central Hobbies. They aren't listed on the
web site, you have to call. I have no idea what the Central price is, but I'm
sure it's about in line with the others of the same category.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just in case you missed it, this is a really soft
mount that we tested for the YS DZ160. I make wood planes and I wanted a mount
to absorb the vibration of that beast, and not beat my planes to death. I'll say
the we achieved that, and after hundreds of flights, everything is still looking
like roses!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One of the benefits besides the vibration reduction
is noise. This is one of the more quiet mounts available, and when coupled with
the soft mounted Hatori muffler and a carb venturi, well, you have to hear it to
believe it. If any other plane (even an electric) is running at my field, I
can't hear my plane over the poles. The low end hammer is GONE.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing to keep in mind is that if it kicks, it
is slightly more prone to getting into the chin or something, so make sure you
have room to let it move around. A SOLID firewall is a must!!!! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At any rate, this one was so successful (in my eyes
at least) that we're going to be testing a few new items over the next few
months. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, if you want one for your plane, it's now
officially out of prototype stage =)</FONT></DIV>
