to combat the weakness of the retract frame you need to make the wood mounts as strong as you can.
how do you like the pica carve a p-51 build process? i had a st-3000 then g-62 in mine.

You still have that plane with the Zenoah?
If you do, can I ask a favor? Like a klunkhead, before I sent my engine off, I forgot to get the measurement from the mount plate to the back of the prop hub so I can't order my stand offs. The Hanger 9, from the mounting box to the cowl opening is 6.25 inches. I just dunno how long the the engine is. Everything I find online includes the hub 😞
(yes, I'm an overzealous idiot, flame away)
nm... figured out Joe and Paladin are one in the same. If you still have one of your G62's, if you'd measure I'd appreciate it.
