Default Old Roo, new engine mount

I've been planning for this new engine mount built for about 3 years now, got the info, consulted Ebron and did the research, have the time to work on it right now because I ( like a newby builder ) cut my left index finger pretty bad with an exacto knife, so good that I had to run to the ER ( 6 min away from my place) to get cleaned up and switched, 5 of them 😢 I'm all fixed up now, the finger still works ( if I need to point up to someone ) and moves normal 😀 anyways.

This came about because others have done it, it was decided when on a go around at slow speed some 3 years ago, it took a while to climb, the engine was pushing the Roo forward and down, P80 then ( the engine had to be mounted on the pod with the end up in order for it to fly straight on level pass ) and the wings took time to develop the sufficient lift to climb, heated it, it was like climbing via steps, stopped flying it because of that and here we are now.
I'm going to build it on the engine first then adjust it and glue it on the Roo then cover the hole, I will be using my TJT3000 engine, it still have lots of life in it, it's heavy and produces 27 lbs of thrust, it was carrying like 2 lbs of lead before, right at the fuse's trealing adge.
