 One of the most overlooked aspects of building a precision airplane is engine mounting. Proper soft mounting will extend the life of the model and the radio equipment, and will reduce noise emission.
Proper alignment of the engine mounting system is also critical to conform to the designer’s intended right, and down thrust measurements. It’s easy to get this part wrong, and the result will be a model that flies poorly.
In this DVD, Master Modeler, Bob Noll takes you step-by-step through the mounting of a YS 1.20 four-stroke engine in a fiberglass fuselage pattern model. He uses the popular Hyde Custom Soft Mount system for this demonstration, but also explains how to correctly install two other mounts; the Dave Brown Products? VibraDamp and the Gator R/C Soft?N?Safe.
Bob also explains and demonstrates the accurate and secure installation of a Gator R./C Nose Ring.
For those who prefer built-up models, Bob shows how to accurately install the Soft’N’Safe mount into a wooden fuselage with removable fiberglass cowl. This section features an explanation of a unique mounting fixture that is both easy to make and fully adjustable.
The myriad of close-up DVD clips tell the story of each of the precision processes in screen-filling detail. There are dozens of unusual building tips and the best part is that you get to watch an unmatched craftsman work. The lessons learned from just observing Bob?s building techniques are alone worth the price of the Absolute Accuracy DVD series
Running time: 1 hour.
