| I was able to mount the engine mount tonight. The engine
mount needs to be mounted and the holes drilled before the fuselage is
covered. Why? Two reasons. First, if the fuselage is covered when you
drill the two lower engine mount holes, you will get steel shavings
under your floorboard which will work themselves along the tubes and
fabric and eventually start to tear through. Secondly, you will need all
four engine mount holes to secure a wooden fixture to. The wooden (or
steel if you can weld) is used to rotate the fuselage during covering
and painting. |
