| Friday, Finally got the right mounts and rehoisted the engine and pushed it up into position only to find that I have an interfeence |
|
| issue with the Engine mount cross member. This is an issue that Tim ran into also. I called Van's and talked To Scott Risan |
|
| (VERY HELPFUL). He reported that they had made a change to the mount after Tim's incident and while they had heard |
|
| incidents from people of it being very close Mine was the 1st they had heard of actual interference. They requested I ship the |
|
| mount back to them, and they will put the fix on it similar to Tim's. they just want to make sure that something hasn't changed in |
|
| their mount set-up. I believe that part of the problem is that the CAS system from Barrett has a custom cast oit sump that must |
|
| be larger then the stock Lyc. Scott @ Van's is awarre the I have a BPE engine, and he was extremly friendly and willing to help. |
|
| so thie next week, will be spent doing mics 'catch-up' items. So after we put the engine 'back to bed' John Ackerman helped me |
|
| pull the nose gear and engine mount. Two steps backward ! |
