Features
  • Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Spruce provides a superior alternative to heavier hardwoods like beech, offering the critical stiffness and structural integrity required for high-stress powertrains while keeping overall model weight to a minimum.
  • Vibration-Dampening Grain: Featuring a long, straight grain structure, these bearers are specialised to absorb and dampen high-frequency engine vibrations, protecting airframes and sensitive electronics from fatigue damage.
  • Precision Mounting Surface: Acts as the structural backbone of the model, providing a perfectly true and solid surface for mounting engine feet and firewalls, ensuring precise alignment of the drive shaft or propeller.
  • Professional Workability: Despite its high rigidity, spruce remains easy to drill, shape, and cut with standard hobby tools, allowing for effortless customisation of thrust lines and engine mount configurations.
  • Standard 12-Inch Formatting: Supplied in versatile 304mm (12-inch) lengths and a comprehensive range of profilesfrom delicate 1/4in squares to robust 1/2 x 1in sectionsto suit a variety of scale aircraft and marine models.

Description

Engine Bearer

Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Spruce offers the ideal balance—it's significantly lighter than traditional hardwoods (like Beech), yet provides superior stiffness and strength, ensuring your models weight remains low without compromising on durability.

Vibration Resistance: The long, straight grain structure of Spruce provides excellent rigidity, which is crucial for dampening the high-frequency vibration produced by internal combustion engines, protecting the surrounding airframe from fatigue damage.

The Structural Backbone: Engine bearers are the most critical structural part of the model's power train. They provide a solid, true surface for mounting engine feet and firewalls, ensuring perfect alignment of the propeller or drive shaft.

Easy to Work: Despite its strength, Spruce cuts cleanly and can be drilled and shaped with standard hobby tools, allowing you to easily customise the fit for your specific engine mount or thrust line requirements.
