I'm guessing you mean putting a spacer on the face of the bulkhead that bares the thrust of the motor. That would effectively lower the whole retainer assembly. We have about 0.625" of bore on the bulkhead that the motor casing slides into, we could probably reduce that down to as little as 0.2". I

[psas-airframe] New Cesaroni Motor Mounting

2012-08-12 Thread Dave Camarillo
So I was figuring out how to mount the new motor casing in the airframe and ran into this issue (see picture). The forward closure on the new motor sits higher then the old one, and if I simply extend the retaining bracket it will interfere with the avionics. The easiest option would be to shorten
