Greetings.
Ralph's original GyroBee documentation shows the basic configuration for the DynaFocal mount by Leaf which is no longer in production. I have read here that it is OK to use flat stock for this item and leave un-bent for a 503 Rotax. My question to the experts here is in regards to material thickness. The DynaFocal uses 3/8" thick bar stock that is 2" wide. Could I substitute with 1/4" thick that is 3" wide, providing the same cross-sectional area?
This seems reasonable on the surface, but it's the little things I perhaps haven't considered that prompts this question. I don't have a crystal clear understanding yet of Barry mount thicknesses, etc. Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Brian Jackson
