I glued the wing together and with a good glue joint I only got 1 5/16 diheadral instead of 2 and 5/16 wing dowels did not fit into W2 had to file them so the wing would fit down into the saddle.
I measured my cowl it's about 5 1/16 long with 1/2 in.going over the fuse. and 1/8in. of the engine sticking out this puts the engine mounting location at 4 7/16 instead of 4 15/16 as stated in the manual. I am going to put a GMS 47 in this plane did you mount your engine inverted or to the side? I may even try to mount it in the 8 o'clock pos. depends on the muffler I am also going to look at my TT 46 to see if the muffler fits any better(I know they have the same bolt pattern) it will take at least a couple of weeks for me to finish this plane.
