Claims13
An Adjustable Offset Mount (AOM) and a shim-less device (30) for an engine of a model airplane, the device is made of durable materials and comprised of:
- (a) a vertical angle base component (51) and a vertical angle adjustment component (52) with adjustment slots, a means for removably securing (56) the vertical adjustment component (52) in a pre-determined angle to the vertical angle base component (51) wherein together the vertical base component and vertical angle adjustment component form a vertical adjustment section (51), (52);
- (b) a horizontal angle base component (53) and a horizontal angle adjustment component (54) with adjustment slots, a means (56A) for securing the horizontal adjustment component (54) in a pre-determined angle to the horizontal angle base component (53) wherein together the horizontal base component (53) and the horizontal angle adjustment component (54) form a horizontal adjustment section (53), (54);
- (c) a means (57) for fastening and connecting the horizontal adjustment section (53), (54) to the vertical adjustment section (51), (52) and form the AOM device (30);
- (d) a means (55) for connecting the vertical adjustment section (51), (52) to a fuselage (59);
- and
- (e) a means (61) for connecting the horizontal adjustment section (53), (54) to a motor (58);
- wherein the AOM device when connected to the engine and a propeller can be removably secured to a fuselage of the model airplane and readily adjusted to set the horizontal and vertical thrust angles of the propeller of the model airplane to easily correct flight direction and stabilize a flight pattern.
