More work on the engine mount...
Assembled allthe wood parts that form the mount, then sanded the piece to have a smooth surface to be laminated with carbon, note that the wood structure is different on both sides of the mount. before laminating I test fit the parts in the fuse with the engine to make sure it fits perfect.
then laminated the piece with carbon on both sides, test fit on the fuse again and marked the location for the blind nuts that will hold the nose ring in place, is a lot easier to install these blind nuts before installing the piece inthe fuse. the nose ring will be hold in place with two 4-40 bolts. finally covered with monokote the wood areas that can be seen thru the vent holes in the fuse, just to make it look nice.
