Engine Mount - BVM KingCat V2 COMPOSITE Assembly And Operating Manual

ENGINE MOUNT

❑ See plans for alum mount orientation per JetCat or
other engines. The JetCat uses the stamped alum band
type of mount that comes with the engine. Modify per
plans and use upside down. The mounting ears may
need to be bent slightly to conform to wing mounts.
❑ Use a razor saw to cut the tabs between the CF plates
and block sand the edges.
❑ Apply a drop of Z-42 Thread Locker to the 4-40x3/8"
flat head screws and screw the alum blocks to the top
side of plates.
NOTE: Topside of plates have larger 6-32 screw
countersinks and bevel on outside edge. Z-42 Thread
Locker is for metal-to-metal threads only.
❑ Tape the CF plates to top of wing as shown, aligning at
the T.E. and inboard edge of engine mount area of wing.
Use a #33 (.113) drill to make holes about 1/2" deep and
tap 6-32. Put a drop of thin ZAP into threads (hint - apply
a drop of CA to an old #11 blade then apply to hole),
allow to cure then tap again. The material you are drilling
and tapping is resin and maple. Install the 6-32x1/2"
phillips flat head screws.
❑ Make hole in aft fuse tail cone as marked to route
engine fuel and electrical lines. Tie wrap the tubes
and lines together such that none can be sucked
into the engine inlet.
