<DIV>Have you experienced any "searching" by these motors on this
mount without a nose ring?</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004>Nat, That's a big question. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004>Just got back to our hotel after a day at
the beach - actually the flying field. My wife went shopping and I went
flying. 181 is now my magic number of months that I have flown an RC plane at
least once in a month. Feels good to get it done on 1/1/2004 and I
just know that there is bound to be cold weather waiting for us up
north.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004>I am running with "A" type Hydemounts
on all of my big (1.40-1.70) 2-c's. Some of which are actually stiffer than
usual. Anything I have flown without an iso-mount has shown high frequency
vibration damage such as horn-bolts snapping etc. With the big four-bangers we
also had to deal with a lot of "shake" dampening as well. The 2-c's run a lot
smoother and as such shake a lot less. So far I have found that 2-c's present
less problems in the area of isolation. They are definitely smoother at full
rpm. At very low rpm they will bump around as much as any other engine of that
size.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004>Hope that answers your
question.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=159125700-02012004>Off to the new air and space museum in
near Dulles VA tomorrow.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Eric you have flown far more airplanes than than most. I, for one, would
appreciate your opinion regarding selection of motor mounts. Do 2 strokes
present more problems in getting good top and bottom isolalation
? Happy New Year -
Nat Penton</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=360305518-27122003><SPAN class=153213113-01012004>Some

<DIV><SPAN class=360305518-27122003><SPAN
class=153213113-01012004> Well, If you are reading this
you made it into 2004. FAI pilots will be flying P-05 and maybe unknowns and
F-05. Masters pilots will probably be flying their schedule for the
last time. Intermediate pilots will still be exiting down-wind, but may
get a snap to do in 2005. A lot depends upon how progressive our AMA
committee sees our future.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=360305518-27122003><SPAN
class=153213113-01012004> Two cycles will continue to be a
force in pattern but the 4-c's will fight back with cubes!. Electric power
will continue to tempt us in in a most tantalizingly expensive manner.
New pattern plane designs will help us fly better and make it as hard as
ever for judges to separate us. New servos will give us more rudder power
and better resolution to amplify our skills and of course our
errors.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=360305518-27122003><SPAN

cooperate this year. We will practice in February in District-1. We will be
ready for the Nationals. We will judge spins and snaps with consistency.
More of us will attend contests and... "What's that noise? Oh,it's my
hotel-wake-up call".... Must go flying to get my January flight
in.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
