The first thing I always do is mount the engine. Mainly because without the rudder or stab in place, I can set the plane on her tail and play around until I get it 100% correctly. In this case, I used the new EME 35. You can see it here:

They also make an auto start version, but I decided to opt out of this one. I've known these engines to be very powerful and I didn't want to have a ton sticking out of the bottom. For the power and the relatively small size, I thought this would be perfect. The mounts that come in the engine are nice, but they caused the engine to stick out too much. So, I decided to just mount the engine old school and broke out the wood!
