I got the blind nuts for the engine mount glued to the firewall, and trimmed the engine mount a bit to allow the engine to sit properly. In a hind site I took too much off...
I also drilled pilot holes for the "sheet metal" screws that will hold the engine to the mount.

I then tapered the top of the formers to accept the 3/8" triangles, and while at it, I cut a taper into the support for F2A and F2b which I glued into place yesterday. Oops...
Finally, I glued the 3/8" triangles to the top of the fuselage.

Cheers,
Eran
