3rd night went well. I mounted the engine without any issues. Kangke has taken the guesswork out of mounting by etching the front firewall with center. The DLE 35 rear carb did not present any issues. the firewall flange had to be trimmed to accomodate the muffler; howerver, the cut was straight......front to rear on both sides about 3/4 inch deep into the fuse cowl flange. The tail wires work fine; however, the wires should be split with a turnbuckle in the center to draw tightness. The Howard comes with 2/56 tail wires and look great black. The only problem is tightening. You have to pull a little bit to have the clevis reach the attachment bracket. This could be resolved with a turnbucke which pulls from both ends. The wing strut hardware and attachment process worked great. The hardware is adequate but you have to pay close attention to the orientation of the hardware so it does not contact your covering.
