Hyde Mount Tested: LR85 (P/N HCMLR85)
The above Hyde Mount actually reduced
vibration 92% @ 7700 RPMs
The above testing was
conducted by a Major European Luxury
Automobile Drive Train Engineer.
The above graph clearly shows
the above Hyde Mount actually reduced
vibration even more than shown in the
following descriptive pages under the
heading colum "Reduced Vibration/CDR

The Cursor position at 6500
rpm shows vibration is
attenuated down from 393 g to
~ 40
g. Thus attenuation is 40.4 /
392= 0.101 or - 10%. Thus engine
vibration is reduced by 90% at
6500 rpm. |
|
Plot shows total
vibration amplitude during
run up from idle to full
power on both engine side
and body side. |
|
The differnece
between the two curves
shows how well the
engine mount isolates
the model from
vibration. |
|
N.B at low idle
(2000 rpm),
attenuation is 16/48
= 0.333 or
~
33% at
2000 rpm. |

Hyde Soft Mounts
are great for
both sport and
competition R/C
flying because,
unlike other mounts
they don't rob your
engine of
horsepower. And
that's just the
beginning.
By eliminating
damaging vibration,
Hyde Mounts extend
equipment life
considerably and
reduce noise. Hyde
Mounts are used by
an overwhelming
majority of all F3A
NATS and World Class
competition flyers
providing millions
of vibration
maintenance free
flights and have
been in the winners
circle over 2000
times.
Winners of many F3A,
Pattern, Giant
Scale, TOC, IMAC,
and Racing Events
have unanimously
credited Hyde Mount
reliability.
Many Hyde Mounts are
performing
flawlessly with
original isolator
rubber and bonding
even after 5000
flights. There has
been no Hyde
Isolator failures or
"pull aparts" to
date.
Please contact:
Hydesoftmounts@yahoo.com
or 702-269-7829 for
specs., dimensions,
performance ratings,
and etc. for over
600 types and sizes
of "tractor" and
"pusher" mounts for
engines up to
26cuin/433cc,
including electrics.
Special Orders
accepted for all
applications,
including UAV/Surveillance
aircraft. Many UAV
operators are
reporting the best
airborne video
quality ever
obtained by simply
using a HYDE SOFT
MOUNT.

***What is
CDR?
CDR stands for percentage of Current Drain
Reduction, same percentage results are obtained as when vibration
forces are measured and compared at the source (motor) and body (airframe)
with an accelerometer.
For normal control surface activation
using batteries/servos, as in a typical model aircraft, the average CDR
benefits are:
-
35% CDR extends flight time
per charge considerably- extends major equipment life, including
airframe, 4-8 times.
-
60-70% CDR approximately
doubles flight time per charge- extends major equipment life 10-15
times.
-
80-85% CDR approximately
triples flight time per charge and extends major airborne equipment life
20-50 times.
Universal Hyde Mounts CDR
ratings are established when tested with popular YS160/170 engines.
Performance may vary slightly when used with other 1.2 thru 2.0 cuin.
engines and various airframe construction materials.
The designer of Hyde mounts has
over 35 years of vibration affects experience with powered model aircraft.
Typical equipment life, including: servos, pots, gears, linkage, and
airframe is approximately 25 to 75 flights when hard mounted with a high
power to weight ratio engine and aircraft-i.e average equipment life is
around 50 flights. Some aircraft and equipment has remained in excellent
condition after 3000 flights when using a Hyde Mount-this result is an
extension of equipment life by 60 times-try to put a dollar value on this
benefit!!!! Also, one specific Hyde Soft Mount remains in excellent
condition after 7000 flights (1200 hours) - this mount is now retired and
being studied by a vibration engineering department lab. at a major
university. The rubber: volume, dimensions, distribution, tensioning,
and bonding, are the success ingredients of a Hyde Mount.

Hyde
Mounts are the overwhelming choice of pattern pilots all
over the world. Why? Because they reduce noise and help to save wear on expensive servos and
receivers, as well as the rest of the aircraft. Highly recommended by
Central Hobbies customers. Light weight and reliable!

You Pay For."

Installation notes for Nose
Ring Incorporated Hyde Mounts
(see in chart above) |
|
The latest technology in soft mounts from Merle
Hyde, is an extremely light mount that incorporates the nose ring (see
above) that is supported from the
firewall. Building a structure in the sides of the engine compartment to support the nose
ring is no longer necessary.
Not only does this save weight, it makes a much cleaner and
simpler installation of the engine.
Also, there is a 5/16" threaded removable stud that
protrudes from the back of the mount for temporary mount
attachment. This feature makes it much easier to align the mount during the
initial installation to the firewall.
Simply attach your engine to the
mount, and drill a hole in the firewall large enough to allow some
movement of the threaded stud approximately where the mount will
be located. With the screw loosened up enough to
allow movement, shift the assembly around until the engine is
aligned with the nose, and reaching in from the backside of the
firewall, tighten the screw when the mount is in the desired
position.
Remove the engine and drill the holes
in the firewall exactly where they should be.
It couldn't be any easier. |

Firm Idle Mark III Series
mounts includes exclusive Hyde Safety Features which prevent
pull-apart failure very common with other brands. Built
to perform where others fail, the Firm Idle Series offer excellent
idle properties and reliable rubber bonding.
HYDE'S "FIRM IDLE"
MOUNTS provide better protection
than competing "soft" mounts.
The Mark III series mounts reduce
dangerous vibration approx. 35%.
All Hyde Mounts are rigorously tested against
other brands of "soft" engine mounts. In test after
test, other brands fail in several respects. First, they
fail to adequately protect RC aircraft from dangerous engine
vibration at high rpm speeds. Out of 14 other brands
tested, vibration reduction only reaches from 0% to 15%.
This means that some mounts are not offering any protection at
all, and the best competitor's brands are only reducing
vibration by 15%. Even worse, some other brands
actually pull apart in mid-flight, destroying
valuable aircraft.
|
ASK THE PROS
2005 World & NATS Champs chose Hyde Mounts
(for both Electric & Glow applications). |
|
All other Hyde Mounts reduce damaging high
RPM vibration from 60 to 90%.
HYDE MOUNTS ARE PROVEN BETTER
|
|
Now there's no reason not to use the
VERY BEST MOUNT available! The FIRM IDLE MKIIl series from
Merle Hyde are a perfect fit for most sport planes, offer excellent
vibration protection, and are priced to fit every sport flyer's
budget.

Mount?
