RE: Another Eindecker build
I didn't post anything yesterday because I got frustrated with myself and decided to take a break. First, the holes I drilled in the firewall for the motor mount were crooked, and I don't know how that happened. I drew the center lines on the firewall, good. Used the template that came with my motor mount to mark drill locations, good. Drill the holes, install blind nuts, install motor mount and crap. It's crooked. Instead of a nice inverted mount, it's off to the left a bit. Well, I tell myself, as long as the mount is center it won't be too bad. So I start playing around with the engine and cowl, and notice that the drive shaft sticks out of the cowl more than I like, douple crap, and I decide to call it a night. Today I figure that I can get a different engine mount and start over if Ilike, so I go ahead and mount the engine and cowl. Guess what? I not as unhappy with it as I though I would be. Tell what you think.
