Tom Morris' motor mounts?
« on: May 25, 2012, 11:50:35 AM »
It's my understanding Tom Morris is building profile electric motor mounts.  I thought I saw some pictures of them somewheres.  Does anyone remember where?

Also what is the best way to contact Tom.     ???

John,
See Ty's post on the Profile Caviler that Tom Morris had at the GA meet. Good pictures of how its installed. The mount is for a front mount system. It is a 3/16" plywood circle that is milled out for motor cooling, drilled for motor bolts and screwed to the mount crutch. It can be used in full fuse or profile ships. The mount is very strong and does not require an external rear bearing for  solid motor support (once the nose is shaped and all is final fit I CA the whole ring to harden it). Its a very good product.

Best,          DennisT

If you want to go Hi-Tech get a G-10 laminate mount from Bob Hunt.  $12 if I remember right. 
Cut using CNC water jet, same precision as laser cut balsa parts.

No, but I'm sure Hunt does.

Update.

Here are a few photos of my new "Hardnose" softmaount system and I'll also paste in the Product Release copy that I've written about it for the various publications.

Robin’s View Productions, PO Box 68, Stockertown, PA 18083, is now offering the “Hardnose” Electric Front-Mount Plate. This mount plate is CNC machined from .093 thick G-10 material. G-10 is an extremely tough and crush-resistant epoxy/fiberglass laminate that is typically used for circuit board material. The plate has motor mount slots pre-cut that accept a wide variety of electric motors. For instance, everything from an E-Flite Power 15 to a Power 32 will easily fit onto this mount. The mount has air passages that allow cooling air to pass through the mount and on through the cooling slots in the typical outrunner electric motor. The plate is 2 ½ x 3 inches, allowing the builder to easily custom fit the outer perimeter of the plate to a specific fuselage width and height. This mount can be used in new construction or in retrofitting a glow model to electric power. The mount plate is priced at $11.95, plus $3.00 First Class Mail postage and handling. Up to three mount plates can be mailed in one package at the $3.00 postage price. The mount was actually designed by Dean Pappas and Bob Hunt for CL Stunt use, but it is ideally suited to front mount RC applications as well. Bob Hunt, owner of Robin’s View Productions can custom trim the outer dimension of the mount plate to fit your particular fuselage, or you can do that yourself. Robin’s View Productions accepts Visa and MasterCard and welcomes phone orders. Their phone number is: 610-746-0106. You can also contact RVP by email: robinhunt @rcn.com.
