Connery,
Yes, I know it can be done, but if there's an example of exactly what I'm trying to do, why not try to learn from another's experience? I'm curious to know how much of the other side and bottom are enclosed, how the motor/mount bolts are accessed, if any of it is removable, etc. It looks like he's done a very nice job. So as long as we're on the subject, were any of these points an issue for your plane? It looks nicely done as well.
