installed the engine mount in the fuselage, its glued with carbon fibres just like the landing gear formers, as I said before this is the strongest way to glue the pieces where the extra strengh is needed, but remember that is heavier than epoxy and microbaloons so be carefull when doing it. Then I installed the blind nuts that will support the engine, I used 2 6-32 bolts.
next I made a very important piece on this build, as the fuselage was made for electric I needed to add strengh to the front of the fuse, remember there is a top hatch, so I made a reinforcement with 3/32 balse cross grain, sanded a little bit so it may be closer to 1/16, laminated with carbon on both sides to add resistance. the result is a very ligth but very strong piece. again, the pictures explain better than me.
