Added the fuel tank mount. the tank will sit center on the estimated CG. I used 1/6" G10 glass to make the mounting brackets and the fuel tank support cross brackets. Hysoled the mounts to the side of the airframe then used 3mm bolts with blind nuts epoxied in place. Although the G10 is thin and very light, this mount is extremely strong with zero flex in the cross braces. you could probably pick the whole plane up just by the tank mount. I can also remove the tank completing if I need to get more working room in the fuselage. One thing I do know, this engine will need to be pulled at times. the easier you can make things modular the better.
