designing an engine mount
Craig,
I built an engine mount for my KR2 with an O235 L2C. The engine needs to be
mounted as high as possible within the confines of fuse. This means the mount
tubes running from the upper longerons to the conical mount ring will be angled
uphill. Another tube wil

Grain, on the KRnet home page go to Paul Smiths Aussie KR-2s page. Lots of
good info there. Also look at Lynn Hyder's page. He mounted an O-235 in his
narrowed KR2. I looked at his airplane a few months ago at his daughters house.
Very nice work. I can't find his email. Maybe Mark Langford has
CraigW just remember the below statement is accurate until you have forward
pull when applying power.
When forward power is applied then you are now exerting ( levered pull on the
lower mounts. and the longer they are.. The more ft/lbs of stress you exert on
them.
Ex. 10? ratchet with socket..
Look at the angles of the tubes on a Cassutt mount.

This mount is for an O-235 Lycoming I am building for the Seafury LS
Has anyone here been involved in designing an engine mount before. Looking for
general rules to follow. I wanted to keep the upper mounts as close to the
Longeron as possible but that mean the upper tubes would be angled up to
9 matches
