g26 engine mounting question
I am new to gas engines and I want to mount my G26 correctly.... the 5ply, 1/4 inch plywood firewall is glued between two balsa sides; these will be strengthened with 1/4 inch balsa siding (also 1/4 inch triangle balsa along the corners). There is no plywood in the side structure. I was told to pin the sides with 1/8 inch dowel inserts (about 4 per side)..... also, since the aft firewall will be hard to get too once finished, do I use blindnuts or would regular nuts with flat washers do the trick? I feel this engine will pull itself free from the mount sides..... probably be fine but I would love some experienced input.
