Default RE: CARF-Models P-47 Thunderbolt

I have not yet focused on the engine installation, but it appears very straight forward.
The kit comes with a carbon fiber engine dome upon which the Moki will mount.
In turn, this dome will bolt to the fuselage firewall.

The dome is fairly small, so I am not sure it would accommodate ignition and battery.
The gas tank is mounted inside the fuselage in a pre-made tank cradle and so is not part of the engine dome, nor is their any room for it.

The manual is over 50 pages at this point - mostly composed of photos.
I anticipate completion within a month.
