t2k progress
Finally made a little more progress. It took a while to decide how to handle mounting the Webra. I considered many options suggested by several helpful people. As can be seen, I opted for the Dave Brown Vibradamp mount with hardwood stand-offs. The area between the stand-offs will be filled with light balsa.
Mounting the engine was the most difficult part so far. Getting it in the right position so that the drive shaft would center in the cowl was a little difficult to handle by myself, but I got it done.
With the engine mounted, I was able to mount the pipe and build the pipe tunnel. I also began sheeting the bottom of the fuse. Because of all the compound curves, I'm doing it in sections. What is done so far was done with one piece sheets. The rear will be done using strips.
This photo shows the engine mounted and the pipe in the process of being mounted. I'm using two Dave Brown pipe mounts to secure the pipe in the tunnel. I don't know if this is the proper way to do this or not, but it seems secure enough.
