Scott's original post: I am making the engine supports for the gyro, I was wondering if I need some sort of triangulation to help counteract torque on the engine mount boom, here is a couple of pics.
Ron, it seems that you have eluded Scott's original post to this thread, as none of your replies have addressed it. If Scott mounted the braces 6" from the center of the axle tubing, the flex that you mentioned earlier would be, at the most, just a few thousandths of an inch at that point, and he would get plenty of torque support for the engine mount.
I think Scott's original idea of suppling some torque support for the engine is a good one, and I was simply addressing his original idea.
