So I purchased one of these and found an issue I did not expect. There is no access to the rear of the firewall to mount an engine. I have 2 engine choices. A DLE 35RA or an RCGF 26RE. In both cases, the upper right corner was right at the edge and would interfere with the fuselage side. After much pondering, I decided to make a mounting plate from 3/8" ply and attach that to the firewall. The photo shows where the bolt holes would be using an NGH beam mount with the RCGF engine. You can see the problem in the upper right. It wasn't any better with the DLE35. This change will require a longer cowl which is available from Fiberglass Specialties, fortunately. My method follows. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.
