finished the landing gear mount, I reinforced all the unions with unidirectional carbon fiber pieces. this is the strongest way to glue the formers but you have to be very carefull, it can gain weight very fast. I did it because those formers are holding most of the torsion in the fuselage, the landing gear forces and the bottom wing.

next I opened all vent holes in the front of the fuse to start working on the engine installation. I will be using a YS Super Mount 2. first I made a dummy engine mount from scrap balsa to find out the shape for the final mount, then made the drawings for the final mount, it will be made on two layers 1/8 inch thick each one, but different lay up of woods on each one. the pictures explain this more than I do.
