Pictures below shows the entire airframe.
Since I am a dealer for various distributors, I won't have any problem getting necessary parts
I will add more pictures after reducing the size of the pictures.
I don't think I will use the supplied engine mount, 2 of 3 mount block and couple of other parts that came with the kit because they are too heavy.
More later,
