Well,
No, I have not. You may not have noticed that I said I will
probably be using it. But If it takes magic to figure how to make
something as simple as a bracket to hold a pole that can be lowered
or raised then I guess I qualify as a magican:-). If you are
talking about the unit, itself, it has mounting holes in the
tab,through which the cable leads, coming up from the unit. They
may not show in pictures.
If I go that route I'll keep all informed as to how it works out.
As I'm replacing the engine, I may decide to go ahead with shaft
driven "regen". I'm not sure that would go the shaft route without
having a feathering prop that can be reversed. MaxProp even
suggests using it for the purpose.
