CONT. IO-240 MOTOR MOUNT
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:07 pm
Builders,
Murphy DOES have a motor mount for the IO-240, but I am planning on the O-200 in an effort to meet LSA. The Cont. IO- 240 engine weighs appx. 30 lbs. heavier than a Cont. 0-200. If I use MAMs IO-240 motor mount with an engine that weighs 30 lbs. less, will the Rebel tend to have an AFT C of G. ?

I'm sorry Bob but from my experience they have been short staffed for over
two years. Voice mail is not customer service. Pricing parts is a
no-brainer
in today's computer age. "THAT is the EXPLANATION. Perhaps there is no
justification for not being perfect, or even average ...." You hit it on
the
head here Bob, they're not even average - THEY SUCK.
And what I'm really getting tired of is that the only place you can get any
information on the Company or "response" from the factory is right here on
this builders list - not from them of course but from fellow builders - and
I'm
guessing that Mike Davis isn't receiving financial support from Murphy so
that
we can communicate in this manner.
Oh yeah, I'm not having a bad day either. But on this US Holiday -
Thanksgiving, one of the things I'm thankful for is that I've figured out
how to
finish the rebuild of my Rebel without needing anything from the factory due
to the talent of my Dad - Simon, and brother - Matt.
