Hello,
Brought a Twister home today and had some concerns regarding the fairly long nose, fairly short motor mounts, and lite ply doublers. I will definitely use 1/8" ply for the doublers, but what about those engine mounts? Seems like there would be a hinge point between the rear of the mounts and a point somewhere aft of the LE. If I were to extend the mounts back to (past?) the LE would I gain rigidity in the nose to an extent that it would be worth the extra weight of the longer mounts? Should I make 1/16" triplers that extend to somewhere near the TE?
I may mount a Fox .35 (please see related post in the engine section) on this so I'm a little concerned about vibration, etc.
As I have several profile kits in my immediate future, I would assume any suggestions would also apply to a SkyRay, Tutor, etc?
Thanks in advance.
Semper Fi,
Danan
