I noticed rryman that you just bolt the fire wall right on to the front of the rear nacelle half. Any problems with the screws tearing out or is the fiberglass in that area strong enough??..................................
========================
Hawkpilot,
I have had no trouble so far with the arrangement I made. I did have two screws loosen up on one nacelle some time back, but I believe that was due to an out of balance prop. I guess I just "assumed" that they were in balance when I put them on, because I don't believe they just got out of balance from flying. Anyway, here's a pic of how I did it so you won't have to rummage back through all the threads. I basically made two 1/4" firewalls. the rear one is bolted to the nacelle with DuBro #2 button head screws. (a lot of them!) The engine mount is bolted to the front firewall, which is in turn bolted to the rear firewall. the cowling is bolted to the front firewall also. I did this so that if I had to change the thrust on any engine, I could shim between the firewalls to make any corrections, and the spinner would stay centered on the cowling, since the cowling would follow the adjustments. (I hope that made some sense!) Anyway, as it turned out, I didn't have to change a thing, the bird flew off the ground perfectly and I haven't changed anything since. So, if I take out the screws in the back firewall, the entire engine pod, fuel tank, servo and all slides right out of the nacelle, without taking off the spinner, prop, cowling, etc. Like you said, everyone has their own way of doing it, and they all probably work equally well. I'm just a nut about having to get to things I guess. Some of Murphys Laws:
1. Access holes are always 1/2" too small
2. If they are the right size, they are in the wrong place.
3. The least accessible part will be the first one to fail.

I have lots more pics if you need a shot of anything. This B-24 I'm building now makes the Herk seem like an ARF, but I'm enjoying the build. It's a well thought out kit.
Happy holidays to all,
Randy

Man, I love that Herk pic with Santa downloading it!
