📌 Choosing the Right Engine Mount
Not sure if this is the right mount? Here’s a quick guide:
- Round Base Mount (This Product): Best for custom builds, replacements, or aircraft without standard beam spacing
- Beam Mount (Standard Style): Used on most ARF airplanes with pre-set firewall spacing
If your firewall does not match a standard beam mount pattern, a round base mount like this gives you more flexibility and easier alignment.
💡 Modeler’s Tip
Round base mounts are especially useful when replacing older mounts or fitting engines to airframes without standard beam mount spacing. Always measure your engine’s mounting hole spacing (center-to-center) before installation.
🎯 Best For
- Sport and trainer RC airplanes
- Glow and small gas engine installations
- Replacement of worn or cracked engine mounts
- Builders needing flexible mounting options
