Good suggestion re: res. on camera. I will check that out next photo session. Always a good suggestion to mount gear (retracts, engiine mount) prior to encasing. Even with small hands it is trying. I was trying to find a one piece circular engine mount (i.e. Hayes) but they do not have a compatable size for the Magnum 61 that I am using for power.
Engine compartment is too narrow. I guess I will be using a beam mount...even then it will be tight. Right now I have the engine mounted on a Sig type mount (the kind that forms a T w/webbing) that is basically designed for a 40 size engine. My concern with that is one of standing up to vibration and torque. It is possible that a Dave Brown mount may work. Have to keep looking. If you guys with Curares can lend an idea, much appreciated. The original plans used elongated wooden beams. Have not seen those in many years.
