Another 'aha' moment for me! Looking at the pix of Pieten-Vairs, I now see thedifference between the thrust line using the BHP engine mount and the modernmount. Essentially, if the Corvair valve covers are more or less in line withthe top longerons, it's a modern mount. If they are below it, then it's a BHPmount (designed to accommodate the top blower).I have a BHP mount sitting in my hangar and will have to take a closer look atit next time I'm out there.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: my new article, need input
