This project got shelved for a long bit while life took over and happened, things have settled down now and I have started back in on it. I am at the point of thinking about mounting the motor. I decided to go with a beam mount after efforts building a radial mount and securing it to my engine. (I was unable to locate longer mounting screws and I did not feel comfortable with the amount of threads that were grabbing the crank case with the additional metal secured). My question is, should I mount the beam on the firewall until construction is complete and then try to use the motor to adjust the CG as much as possible, or just mount it as close to the firewall as I can and adjust from there. I currently have the servos installed. I am using a G-mark .061, not the motor that is shown on the plans.
