I decided not to use the stock motor mounst for my Kavalier. I went with a Dave Brown AKA Ohio Superstar nylon motor mount for my 35 ax. I will have to make a plywood spacer to go behind the motor motor mount to bring the engine out to clear the backplate on my cowl. I also started laying out the fuse tonight as you can see it took a lot red Midwest push pins to pin down all 1/4 square stringers. In fact I ran out of them and i will have to take some out tomorrow after the glue drys over night. This brings back memories of my youth when i built my Kadet. I went through several bottles of Elmer's yellow glue. I am using Tite bond here. I referred to as the "Ole Lead sled" but that air plane took a real beating and kept flying after several repairs.
