Status: offline 		I was able to piece the broken engine box pieces together and make new ones. One thing I realy liked about this plane, is that it was not easy to remove any of the pieces that I needed to remove. It was glued together very well. They also use spruce try stock to re-enforce the engine box corners instead of balsa. That makes it much stronger.

Status: offline 		Finished motor box. I also had to replace some of the wing saddle sheeting where the wing sits inside the fuse. I thought this would be tough to do, but once I got started, it was not that bad. I would suggest using some thin CA on the backside of this area during assembly.

Status: offline 		Anyone know if the MVVS Isolation mount will fit the front bulkhead? its mountings are 120mm x 80mm with the engine set on the center line, if someone could measure from the marked c/c line on the bulkhead too the outside edge left, right, up and down this would be an great help.

Thanks in advance
Mike

Status: offline 		Thanks SitNFly,
I used my hobby knife with a new blade to cut the rectangular slots that the firewall sets into. I also have a scrole saw and a band saw that I used on the other areas.

Mike,
Not sure on that mount, Reza could probably tell you.
