Thanks. I just knew that if anybody had it figured out, it would be
you!<G> However, inasmuch as I've been flying the Focus with the
Dave Brown ($6, real money!) hard mount for some 3 years now,
completely trouble free, I believe I'll stick with it until I build (or
have a good builder build) a stiff-nose airplane for me. (Temptation?
Brio? I Dunno) Right now, I'm completely happy with my Focus 1; folks
tell me that I'll like the Focus 2 better. We'll see. I truly enjoy
the idea of a top-loader fuselage; it'll make me keep my nose inside
the airplane more to see what's going on in there. I recently found a
problem with the elevator pushrod (gulp!) with the Focus 1 that I
wouldn't even have known about, if not for the necessity of opening up
the pipe tunnel for maintenance on another component. <br>

Re: Icepoint Mount Mod</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>

I 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>
