Default RE: Super Skybolt Build

Mounting the engine today, so I can prep the firewall for installation.

1. Nifty jig I made to ensure that the mounting holes are drilled nice and square. I'm using a Dubro isolation mount...or so I thought...

2-3. After drilling and tapping...aaaaah *#*&#(*(#. This engine mount's gonna interfere with the cabine supports mounting in the firewall. Harumph. After thinking a bit on how I could support the cabines some other way, I guess that the best solution is a different engine mount. So there's $35 down the toilet. Oh, well, guess I'll have to build a 120 size plane that this mount will fit

Anyone know of mount that'll fit this bird? The GP adjustable one just seems so cheap to me...

TBC...
