I'm New Here
Is there anyone who repairs cracked engine mounts for a RV3. Just landed and the right wheel turned out 30 degrees. Good thing I was landing on my grass strip and not on pavement.

I have seen cracks on both sides of a RV-6 engine mount to main gear leg area. The gear attach point area I think needs to be inspected closely on all models. I think Vans has reinforced the newer mounts, don't have the details, in the areas being discussed.
how do you attach a picture to a post?
I'll have it in the shop next week.
Are engine mount cracks always that obvious? I'll be disassembling the front end of Tony Boy at some point and giving the mount a thorough inspection. It looks sound, but is there a more thorough inspection method to do than just blasting the paint off and looking it over?
