Installing turbine mounts


I used my laser level to project the thrust line down inside the area where the foam was removed


The laser when aligned with the marked lines allowed the thrust line to be accurately transferred to the fuse sides


1/8" plywood plates positioned 1/8" below thrust line and glued to foam with E6000 and allowed to dry


Setting the depth of cut for the turbine mount slots


Foam slot cutting technique is from Paul A's videos


Ready to melt foam slot


It took about 4 to 5 reheats to cut and smooth out the slot


Turbine mount test fits.


Slot cutting technique workd great


NIce and tight fit


I was pleased with results
