I just use a Permagrit drum sander, put on a mask and have at it. The smell is awful and the dust is a pain, but it only takes about 10 minutes to remove the maple mounts.
Permagrit drum sander ? Is this something used in a Dremel tool ? What is a good source for these ?
I use 1/4" for anything over a .40 size motor, some will say it's overkill but I have never had a failure.Andy
A big thank you to Bob and all. I will go about getting some more of the PermaGrit sanding drums, etc,.What is the recommended firewall thickness for the front mount? This is for a ".35-.40" equivalent electric system.
Bob Hunt has some really cool-looking fiberglass/epoxy motor mounts. It's 1/8" and predrilled for the motor: all you need to do is get it attached solidly to your airframe.
