<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Focus needs either a Hyde Type A, or the Budd
with a nose ring. I modified the Arresti's last year (two of them) with
mounts for a nose ring that basically was a series of spruce longerons anchored
at angles from the edges of the firewall, epoxied to a ply 'plate' just a bit
larger than the nosering. Have photos if interested. It was a pain
in the b*&# also, but worked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree with Bill - the Budd needs to have a nose
ring, and you have to be willing to put one in, just like the Hyde AR
mount.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> This conversion I've done works,
and ultimately will be worth it (to me, anyway)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I haven't seen any indication that Jerry makes such an
animal. And, while I appreciate what Bob is doing with his Icepoint, I
don't believe the Focus would lend itself to such treatment. So, until I
do something else as far as airplanes go, it looks as if I'll be holding the
Budd mount until needed for a stiff-nose project.<BR>BTW: Just got my
Technician class license again; should be on the FCC web site before too many
more days. Don't know if they are going to give me my old license back,
(N7WWS) or a new one for back here in 4 land. We'll see. And, I'm
going to start studying for my general class before too
long.<BR>Bill<BR><BR>William C. Harden wrote:

see the problem with the Icepoint. Can sure be frustrating. I've
also been wondering: <BR>I just got a new Jerry Budd engine
mount. Excellent job, well thought out. Jerry, however, calls
for a nose ring with the mount. How are the guys handling a nose ring
with a removable cowling, like the Focus? Seems to me as if the cowl
would tear loose from the fuselage if subjected to the stress/vibration of a
nose ring. I've had perfect satisfaction from a Dave Brown solid
mount, (cost the princely sum of $6) on my focus 1, but I've still been
thinking of retrofitting my Focus 2 before it's first flight.<BR>How would
you handle it? <BR><BR>Bill Glaze<BR><BR><BR>Bob Pastorello
