There used to be a great site called rotaryeng.net. Dude by the name of Paul Lamar posted an article (you have to use the Internet Time machine, and when you do, donate $5 you cheap b*****rds) called 'Suggestions for building a rotarty motor mount'. it was a PDF and he goes over some pretty straightforward methods for building a motor mount.

Since at some point you need to hang that car motor on the front of the airplane, this seems like the a good starting point to fab a sled type mount.

CNC cut tubeing is a thing, so once the maths are done, having the lengths and angles cut is not the issue.

Has anyone else read this article, and what are your thoughts?
