Shims for engine mount |
|
|
- Made the remaining shims for the upper and lower engine mount (photo #1 shows one pair), shaped to match the vertical mounting plates of the engine mount. - I used a plumb line to make sure the engine mount lugs were in parallel planes (photos #2 and #3). When I first did this it looked like the mount bottom lugs were WAY forward compared to the upper lugs. That is, until I realized the fuselage was not level; it was tail-low. After leveling the fuselage the lugs began to line up just fine. - So all the shims are made, and now I need to, 1) locate the holes in them, and 2) locate the holes in the motor mount plates. |
