Default RE: My fifth (B)ARF!

Got the mounts drilled, 4-40 T nuts installed, and the mounting plate epoxied into place. I was a little concerned about how easily the plywood of the mounting plate compressed, but maybe the engine won't have as much pull on the nuts. I also drilled an oil drain hole at the lowest point of the engine compartment and coated it with epoxy. Also had to do a little trimming on the sides to fit the carb. Just have to install the throttle push rod, tank, and radio. This has not only been the most decent ARF I've had, but also the fastest assembly.

Oh, BTW, since I was a little concerned about using 4-40 screws to hold a .45, I got hold of some high strength hardened socket head bolts. Easier to install in tight spaces, and I've had the regular 4-40s loose their heads on engines as small as .15s.
