Last fall a RV-4 flip over on take-off..... I have to fix that for the client and maybe after I have to applied a fresh coat of pain in the airframe!  I received from the Vans company the new engine mount. I paint the mount but take 30 seconds and look closely the complexity of the engine support!!!  Our T-18 engine mount look "fragile" if I compare to the Vans parts. |

That's because ours was designed by an aeronautical engineer, not a bridge builder. And yes, your Thorp has a higher load and baggage capacity than your friend 9! Cubes |

Bridge builder  If I paint the engine mount in orange, I have a scale Golden Gate near Montreal! The Thorp mount was light, strong and easy to build. |

Thiery, Look at your local Golden Gate Bridge( Champlain Bridge/RV9)!! It's been under construction continuouly for the last 25 years and is about to fall in the river. The Thorp is a true engineering marvel. Best regards, Jim Mantyla |
