<p>The critical loading of the tubes is in compression buckling. While 4130 is stronger in tension the critical material property for buckling is the modulus of elasticity and the stainless steel has about the same modulus so is just as "strong" in compression buckling. So a stainless engine mount is just as strong for the same weight but has less corrosion issues and and better weld-ability when using TIG. And it looks better.</p>

<p>Mark, can you comment on why you are using stainless steel for the motor mount? If I purchased one, can it be ordered with a 4130 steel tubing? Do you feel stainless is better than 4130? Thanks.</p>

<p>I also wish all the people in the EAB, GA and Zenith community well! I want our community to expand and offering lower cost alternatives is good for everyone. I think this is what Zenith wants and supports and is why they do so well.</p>

<p>I don't know about any false information being told about Aeromomentum, but they seem to have a fine product and I wish them well. </p>

<p>Thanks Mark, It's too bad some people feel the need to spread false information about your engines. I personally think they're fantastic.</p>
