Bobcat engine installation
Today I finally received the P-80 for my Bobcat XL. This thing is beautiful and it smells kerosine!
Now I am trying to figure out how to mount it to the wing. I think I figured out where all the parts from the Jetcat install kit are supposed to go, but now the whole setup does not fit inside the center section cutout. And it's not only the mounting angles, for which you are supposed to make cutouts, but the carbon plates don't fit in there either. The whole thing is about 1/4" wider than needed. What I am thinking is that I should enlarge the oval holes on the top mounting bracket, so they can slide closer to the engine and the carbon plates can be closer to each other. Am I right? It seems there is still enough space between the plates and the engine to move them closer...
I am getting very close! As soon as I have this set up it's on to painting, final setup and FLYING! Thanks again for everybody's help in this process.
Nikita.
