Today Anna and I are going to show you how easy it is to hang the Lycoming engine on your Van's Aircraft RV project in about 12 minutes.
Over the years I've read many forum posts about how difficult it is to hang the Lycoming Dynafocal engine on an RV. How many people do you need? How many hours does it take? How hard is it to get all the bolts in? How many cases of beer do I need to buy, etc, etc.
Well, watch while we get it done in about 12 minutes and I guarantee you, this is the first time Anna has ever installed any type of engine. It's so easy I could almost call it child's play!

The proper way to mount an engine to a Dynafocal mount is to set the mount on the floor vertically. Install the rubbers in the cups then set the engine down vertically. finish install the hardware and torque as required! Then pick the assy up and mount the engine mount to the airframe.

I can’t understand how you do it so easily. I attached two Lycoming to my RV8´s . Holes never aligned, struggle to insert bolts and chose the right order .

It would be helpful to have a close-up of the rubber mount with the bolt, nut and washers installed and the torque setting.

Thanks for sharing this video; great to see a new generation starting out, especially a young girl! As a 40 year AME (aircraft maintenance engineer) if I could offer two tips: 1) Always avoid tightening an assembly by turning the bolt. You should be turning the nut. This will avoid damaging the bolt shank and removing the cad plating. 2) Possibly not a popular suggestion, but you should always wear eye protection when doing mechanical work like this. Would be a shame to have an eye injury at such a young age :( Good luck with the project!

I love your video and would love to watch more of these aircraft videos!! A little about me, I am currently in A&P school for my A&P license I still have a year left but I want to be ready to take my orals and practical's and study for them. I am very determine and passionate about aviation. That being said do you guys have any advice for me for the future to come?

Find the local EAA chapter in your area and go to a meeting. Introduce yourself and tell them you are in A&P school and are looking for learning experiences, don't be afraid to ask if anyone needs a helper. Most chapters have many very experienced, long time aviation enthusiasts (pilots and mechanics) who are willing to help the younger generation get off to a good start. Best of luck, hard work pays off!
