Good job Jason
Glad you got it sorted, Im glad I didnt have to pay you for the labour to fix it!
I had a close call with my Dueces Wild at Penrith yesterday. The Right hand motor mounting plate let go at about 300 ft over the centre of the strip at almost full speed. The noise it made scared the crap out of me.
I shut off the throttle immediatley, hit full flaps, droped the gear and turned it into a tight spiral decent. Had too much pace on when I hit the tarmac (I didnt want to drift to far down range and not make the runway) so the landing gave it a pretty nasty jolt, but apart from breaking the prop the beastie came out if it without a scratch.
Didnt know my heart could make so much noise.
